Explain the feature of 8086 microprocessor

Features of 8086 Microprocessor:

1.    Intel 8086 was launched in 1978.

2.    It was the first 16-bit microprocessor.

3.    This microprocessor had major improvement over the execution speed of 8085.

4.    It is available as 40-pin-Dual-Inline-Package (DIP).

5.    It is available in three versions:

a.    8086 ( 5 MHz)

b.    8086 ( 8 MHz)

c.    8086 ( 10 MHz)

6.    It consists of 29,000 transistors.

7.    Contains 20-bit address bus.

8.    Contains 16-bit data bus.

Advantages

1.    Two instruction are simultaneously processed, so the speed is fast

2.    Pipelining eliminated the waiting time of execution unit and speed up the processing

3.    With this the time for execution of each instruction will be less
