The 8088 is slower than the 8086 because the 8088 is running an 8-bit bus, while the 8086 runs a 16-bit bus. The two processors are the same, 16-bit processors, but the 8088 requires twice as many memory accesses to do the same amount of work as the 8086.

What is the difference between 8086 and 8088 microprocessor?

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.

What is meant by co processor configuraiton in 8086?

The co-processor on an 8086/8088 is the 8087 math co-processor. The motherboard will be designed with an extra socket for the 8087, which then integrates with the 8086/8088 to make a single unified processor.


Size of 8086 address bus?

The 8086/8088 has an internal 20-bit address bus and 16-bit data bus. Externally, the address bus is 20-bits, and the data bus is 16-bits for the 8086 and 8-bits for the 8088.The data bus in the 8086 is 16 bits in size, while the address bus is 20.
