What does this mean for the TI-84 calculator? This is the processor used in it.

I assume there are Z80 clones still in production. The Z80 itself was a copy of the 8080.

IIRC it's only for the DIP version, others variant still exists, and there's a lot of chinese clones anyway

Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

I have about 15-20 z80 dip processors if anyone wants to buy them. Most are still factory sealed. PM me if interested.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I'm concerned, scrolling purists be damned.
