No. A more narrow bus serves to reduce throughput, as it requires more bus transactions to move the same amount of data.
A communications bus which transfers information or data. Most busses are data busses. This can include the Front Side Bus, PCI bus, Memory Bus, and more.
The bigger the data bus, the more data can be fetched in one go and processed, making the computer faster
The 8086 has 16 data bus lines and 20 address bus lines because that is how Intel designed it. They wanted a processor that was more powerful than the 8085, which has an 8 bit data bus and a 16 bit data bus, so they increased both bus sizes accordingly.
There are 2 kinds Data bus and address bus data bus which carries the data ( includes both instruction and data). address bus which carries where the data in the data bus must be sent to in the RAM or which I/O device has to be active to read / write data to the data bus .
Data bus
The width of a data bus and the amount of data it can physically carry. It relates to how much data a computer can transfer within itself. A simple way of thinking of it is like a motorway. The more lanes there are on the motorway, the more cars can travel on it. A bus in a computer consists of lines of data being transferred around, so the more that can be carried, the faster your computer will go.
An Address Bus gives the memory instructions on where to place the actual data that it will stored or read. Basically a map location. The Data Bus carries the information that is going to be stored or read using the location that the Address Bus gave to the memory. Address bus is unidirectional while data bus is bi directional
The width of a data bus is measured in bits, indicating how many bits of data can be transmitted simultaneously. For example, a 32-bit data bus can carry 32 bits of data in parallel at once, while a 64-bit data bus can carry 64 bits. This measurement is crucial as it directly affects the data transfer rate and overall performance of a computer system. In essence, a wider data bus allows for more data to be processed concurrently, enhancing throughput.
control bus
to deliver data more faster
The control bus is a unidirectional bus because it can receive the data from any kind of inputs and send back the output. This whole process is done by the data buses.
Data bus moves data inside your computer. Normal cable moves data external. Data buses are parallel and most network media is serial. Some media is also analog where as the data bus passes data digitally. There are many differences but to be more specific would depend on which 'normal cable' you are referring too.
