Microprocessor 8086 was introduced in 1978 by Intel. It is a 16-bit microprocessor. The 8086 is an enhanced version of the 8085 microprocessor. The 8086 has a 20-bit address bus that can directly address 1M memory locations. It also has a 16-bit data bus that can transfer data between the microprocessor and memory or I/O devices. The 8086 can execute up to five instructions per clock cycle. The 8086 microprocessor provides the following services: - Arithmetic and Logical Operations - Bit Manipulation - Branch Instructions - String Operations - I/O Operations - Interrupt Handling
The 8086 assembly language is a low-level programming language that provides a limited set of instructions for software developers.
While the 8086 is no longer in production, its assembly language is still in use by many programmers. The 8086 assembly language is a powerful tool that allows programmers to create efficient and fast code.
