$360 (initial price of the 8080) would be $2,304 in today's money. For reference, Intel's current fastest desktop processor, the Core Ultra 9 285K was recently launched at $589.
Tbh 8080 still used to this day although more like in different form (e.g as microcontroller). Was surprised when I opened one of my gaming mouse and found out it use intel 8080 derivative chip as its controller unit.
