Because they are simple and easy to implement. You can build a low to medium end controller with an 80188 (high integration 16 bit computer based on the 8088) with very few parts.
so they fit correctly into an 8bit or 16bit slot
An instruction is a command to the microprocessor to perform a given task on specified data. Each instruction has two parts: One is task to be performed,called the operation code (opcode). Second is the data to be operated on, called the operand. It can be specified in various ways,it may include 8bit/16bit data, an internal register, a memory location , or 8bit/16bit address. In some instructions, the operand is implicit. The 8085 instruction set is classified into three groups according to Word size. They are- 1. One word / 1 byte instructions 2. Ttwo word / 2byte instructions 3. Three word / 3byte instructions
48bit does not belong in the list. In relation to desktop computers, it goes: 8bit, 16bit, 32bit, 64bit, 128bit... It refers to the internal design of the microprocessor. 8bit was the original register width in the first generation of computers etched into a single chip. The register size doubles from previous generations to their successors. It's not that a 48bit computer cannot be designed and manufactured, it's more of a decision to expand the capacity of the machine by copying the current design next to the existing hardware and weaving the original and copy together.
32 bit
He does Let's Plays of Old and Recent 8bit and 32bit games.
use two of them for 8 bits.
IPV4 is 32bit (4 times 8bit) rgds
8-bit is a surrounding of a video game e.g. Mega Man. 8-bit is from the Atari Computer System.
8bit = 1 byte1024byte = 1kb1,024kb = 1mb1,024mb = 1gb1,024gb = 1tb
One bit is 2 possible colors, black, 8bit has a possible of 256
1 byte = 8 bits. Computers only know two things. On (1) and off (0). This is known as binary. Computers use an 8bit binary system (00000000). The American Standrad Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is an international code that notices that an 8bit character ASCI covers everything that you can type on a keyboard. Therefore a 1byte letter is A to Z.
This is the data bus width, it defines the largest size numbers the hardware can handle directly (0 .. 255 unsigned, -128 .. 127 signed).
