Most operating systems are designed for either 32-bit or 64bit CPU's.
Its 16bit microprocessor,and-> the 8086 has a 16bit databus 20bit address bus-> the intel 8086,is designed to operate in two modes namely(1) minimum mode(2) maximum mode
Because the accumulator and primary data path is 16 bits. Also, that how Intel designed it.
16bit refers to the number of bits that can be used in a single data format element. 16bit graphics are found in games that can be played on the original Nintendo Entertainment System console.
Standard VGA is 16bit.
The Java compiler itself (javac) is a 32-bit application.
so they fit correctly into an 8bit or 16bit slot

Sorry, but no. Genesis only plays 16bit games.
As it is 16bit processor it can manupulate 16 bits in one operation
16 bits per block . 8 16bit blocks = 128bits
8086 is a 16bit processor.
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.
