Brief History of 8086
• The 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor chip designed by
Intel and introduced on the market in 1978, which
gave rise to the x86 architecture.
• Intel introduced the 8086 as a cost effective way of
porting software from the 8080 lines, and succeeded
in winning much business on that premise.
• The 8088, a version of the 8086 that used an external
8-bit data bus.
• Following up their 8086 and 8088, Intel released the
80186, 80286 and, in 1985, the 32-bit 80386,
cementing their PC market dominance with the
processor family's backwards compatibility.
