The difference between the 8086 and the 8088 is that the 8086 has a 16 bit data bus and that the 8088 has an 8 bit data bus.
Both processors are the same 16 bit processor, and both have a 20 bit address bus. The 8086 is twice as fast as the 8088 in terms of data transfer rate on the bus for the same bus clock speed.

∙ 14y agoThe principle difference is the width of the external data bus; on the 8086 it was 16 bit, on the 8088 it was 8 bit.

What is the main difference between 8086 and 8088 microprocessor according to the pin configuration?
The 8086 has a 16 bit bus, while the 8088 has an 8 bit bus. In both A0 through A7 are shared as D0 through D7. The the 8086, A8 through A15 is also shared as D8 through D15.
Which microprocessor accepts the program written for 8086 without any changes?
Which microprocessor accepts the program written for 8086 without any changes?
What is the difference between the 8086 and the 8087?
The 8086 was a 16-bit microprocessor chip. It gave its name to the x86 architecture. It was the main CPU of the computer. The 8087 was the first math coprocessor for 16 bit processors. It was the first of the x87 architecture chips. it couldn't act as the main CPU in a computer, it was dedicated to doing floating point mathematical computations.
Why the 16 bit 8085 microprocessor is not possible?
The 8085 was replaced with the 8086/8088. As such, there is no 16 bit version of the 8085.
What is physical address in 8086 microprocessor?
Physical address in the 8086/8088 is {Selected Segment Register} * 16 + {Effective Offset Address}. It is a 20-bit address .
Why a 16-bit microprocessor8086 with an 8-bit memory?
The 8086/8088 microprocessor family is a 16 bit microprocessor. The 8086 implementation also has a 16 bit data bus, but the 8088 implementation has an 8 bit data bus, comparable to the 8085. The 8088 implementation was intended as a logical upgrade from the 8085, while keeping the complexity of the system on an equal footing as the 8085.
What is the size of the interrupt vector table in the 8086-8088 microprocessor?
There are 256 different interrupt vectors in the 8086/8088. Each vector is a far CS:IP address, which is four bytes. That makes the interrupt vector table 1,024 bytes.
8088 and 8086 were introduced by?
The 8086/8088 family of microprocessors was introduced by Intel.
Why memory to memory acess is not possible in 8086 micro processor?
Memory to memory access is certainly possible in the 8086/8088 microprocessor. Look at the repeated string copy instructions.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of 8086 microprocessor?
the advantages of 8086 microprocessor over 8085A microprocessor is that 1)it is a 16 bit microprocessor 2)the disadvantages in 8085A microprocessor like low speed,limited number of registers,low memory addressing capability,less powerful instruction set have been overcome in 8086 registers
When did the 8088 processor come out?
Somewhat after the 8086, which was somewhat after the 8085. The 8086 was developed between mid 1976 and early 1978, while the 8088 was developed in 1979.
