JUMP RET CALL RETI RETN RETF These are unconditional branch instructions By, Satish G.Patil

when conditional jump instruction is executed it has 10 m/c cycles bt when nt executed it has 7 m/c cycles....while unconditional jump instruction has 10 m/c cycles...
When a branch (or "jump") instruction is executed, the condition codes bits (in the flag register) determine whether or not the Program Counter (PC register) is changed to the Effective Address specified by the instruction; if not, then the PC is unchanged.
In 8086 the instruction queue is 6 byte long. This is because even the longest 8086 instruction is 6 byte long. Thus it is possible to prefetch even the longest instruction in the instruction set.

The Instruction Pointer (IP) in an 8086 microprocessor contains the address of the next instruction to be executed. The processor uses IP to request memory data from the Bus Interface Unit, and then increments it by the size of the instruction.
The intersegment branch (or far branch) in the 8086/8088 is a branch where both the Instruction Pointer (IP) and the Code Segment(CS) registers are loaded at the same time. You can branch anywhere in memory with an intersegment branch. Contrast this with an intrasegment branch (or near branch) where only the IP register is loaded. Since the CS register is not loaded, the domain of the branch is only the 64kb segment currently selected by CS.
Copied from discussion, as no response has been received from the discussion... There is no branch or jump instruction in the 8085 or 8086/8088 that has a 10 bit address field. Please specify what microprocessor to which you are referring.
in 8086, there is instruction queue of 6 byte. It is one of the reason behind giving name. 8086 was introducing pipeline architecture.
