Question

Which is 8 bit microprocessor __________.

• A. 8086
• B. 8088
• C. 8085
• D. both (2) and (3)

Answer 1

The correct option is D both (2) and (3)

8088 and 8085 is 8 bit microprocessor.

8 bit microprocessor:-

8-bit is an early computer hardware device or software program that is capable of transferring eight bits of data at the same time

The Intel 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor. Its data bus is 8-bit wide and hence, 8 bits of data can be transmitted in parallel from or to the microprocessor. First of all 16-bit memory address is transmitted by the microprocessor the 8 MSBs of the address on the A-bus and the 8 LSBs of the address on AD-bus.

The Intel 8088 microprocessor is a variant of the Intel 8086. Introduced on July 1, 1979, the 8088 had an eight-bit external data bus instead of the 16-bit bus of the 8086.
