Why was it important to move from the successful 80286 to 80386?
I assume your speaking of the Intel 80286 and the 80386 computer processors. This series of processors are the reason we call "32-bit processor architecture" x86. Anyway, the importance of moving from 80286 to 80386 lies in the fact that the former could only execute 16-bit code, and the the latter supported 32-bit code. In layman terms, the 80286 could only natively calculate numbers up to 65,536-1 (65.536) without implementing advanced software to allow caclulations of numbers greater than that. The 80386, however, was capable of mathematically manipulating numbers up to 4,294,967,296-1 (or 4,294,967,295). This innovation allowed many programmers to write programs more easily without the need for them to implement extra functions to allow them to process large numbers. For this same reason, we now use 64-bit processors, and will eventually move on to 128-bit and 256-bit in the future, however, when this will happen is a matter of when hardware designers create and software programmers decide to support such a system.
What is the difference between the Intel 80286 and the Intel 80386?
Comparison between micro processor Intel and Motorola
How many bits is the data bus for a 486dx4 processor?
A 386SX processor has 16-bits and 386DX has 32-bits
How many bits in i7 processor?
The i7 is a 64 bit processor.
How many bits are in the system bus for 386sx processor?
16

The 386SX is a 32 bit processor running on a 16 bit bus.
How many bits 386DX processor?

Will a processor 80532 handle 64 bits?
Yes, a processor 80532 will handle and has the ability to run 64-bits. A processor 80532 is considered to be a Pentium 4 processor.
How many bits can the HCS12 CPU manipulate in one operation?
As it is 16bit processor it can manupulate 16 bits in one operation
How many bits is Apple iMac 2.66GHz?
The iMac uses an Intel Core 2 Duo processor which is a 64 bit processor.
How many bits does a Nintendo DS have?
The DS's ARM9 processor is 32 bits. This is not a direct indication of its processing power, which is why it can play '64-bit' games.
How many bits are in a Wii U?
The Wii U uses a 64-bit PowerPC processor. I think that's the answer to the question you were trying to ask. I'm a bit curious why anyone who isn't a programmer or electrical engineer would care about how many bits a processor "has".
Explain the real mode in 8086?
Real mode is a term that was introduced for the 80286 and higher processors. It represents the default (power on) mode of an 80286 or higher processor, as opposed to one of the various protected modes. Real mode does not apply specifically to the 8086/8088. In the 80286 and above, real mode operates very much like the 8086/8088.
