It depends on what 8-bit processor it is and what one needs to do with it. 
There are a number of old/antique ones still around but are still used by a 
lot of people. (ie. PICs and 8051's). For something that is still in the 8-bit 
field but is somewhat newer (and that are quite interesting devices) check out 
the 8-bit AVR microcontrollers from Atmel.
