Features of 8086
The most prominent features of a 8086 microprocessor are as follows –
It has an instruction queue, which is capable of storing six instruction bytes from the memory
resulting in faster processing.
It was the first 16-bit processor having 16-bit ALU, 16-bit registers, internal data bus, and 16-
bit external data bus resulting in faster processing.
o 8086 → 5MHz
o 8086-2 → 8MHz
o (c)8086-1 → 10 MHz
It uses two stages of pipelining, i.e. Fetch Stage and Execute Stage, which improves
performance.
Fetch stage can prefetch up to 6 bytes of instructions and stores them in the queue.
