LOL. I enjoyed this one.

...which is more than obvious, as Z80 was designed by Zilog, which is not
Intel, and if it had compatible instructionset it would be a clone of 8085
and have some sort of a similar name. Besides, the 8085 is real slow and
has too many instructions. The Z80 is much easier to program and has a
better instructionset.
