The 8088 was the microprocessor used in the original IBM PC, released in 1981. It operated at clock speeds of 4.77 MHz, which was relatively slow by modern standards. The 8088 featured a 16-bit data bus and an 8-bit external data bus, allowing it to handle a variety of tasks suitable for early personal computing. Its architecture laid the groundwork for future generations of x86 processors.

Did the 8088 IBM PC have 4.77 mhz?

Yes, the IBM PC 8088 operated at a clock speed of 4.77 MHz. This processor was introduced in 1981 and was part of the original IBM PC lineup. Its relatively low clock speed was typical for the time, as it was designed for basic computing tasks and compatibility with existing software.

Why 8086 was not use IBM PC?

Because IBM wanted to build a computer with an 8-bit data bus. The 8086 and 8088 are the same processor, with the 8086 running on a 16-bit data bus, and the 8088 running on an 8-bit data bus. This allowed IBM to make the most use of older designs that supported 8-bit data buses, such as the 8080, the 8085, and the Z80.
