What are the measuring units of memory?
Individually, they are known as a "bit." 8 of them taken together is called a "byte".
What are the Computer units?
BCD (binary coded decimal) - 4 bit Byte - 8 bit Byte
What are 8 bit called?
a Byte
Why 8051 is called 8 bit?
Because its a microcontroller with an 8 bit data bus width.
Why 8051 is called 8 bit micro controller?
A: Because it can only control 8 bits of data.
Why did we go from 32 bits CPUs to 64 bits CPUs. why don't we hear of a 33 bits cpu or something similar?
Data widths are always logical increments divisible by 8. This stems back to the very basics of computing. A byte of data is actually 8 smaller units, called bits. Typically this is represented as 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc. Processors have been 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64 bit. There have been a few exceptions, but even so, they are divisible by 8. Some older graphics units processed 24-bit color, for example. If a processor was 33-bit, the 33rd bit would be ignored, resulting in a 32-bit processor. This is because that extra bit comes in a set, and is actually quite meaningless all by itself.
What is the value of the 8 in the problem 01568?
It is 8 units and so 8.It is 8 units and so 8.It is 8 units and so 8.It is 8 units and so 8.
What is 8-bit word size is called?
Byte
What is an 8-bit number is often called?
Octal
Production for five people was as follows 8 units 11 units 6 units 12 units 8 units. What was their average production in units?
Production for five people was as follows: 8 units, 11 units, 6 units, 12 units, 8 units. What was their average production in units?
How does 8086 determine wheather instruction is 8 bit or 16 bit?
based on the size of the data bus they determine whether it is a 8 bit or 16 bit . here in 8086 it has 16 bit data bus hence it is called as 16 bit microprocessor
Is a 8 bit word size is called a byte?
YES
