Q.3. What determines the microprocessor is an 8, 16 or 32 bit |
|
Answer» The bit size (8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit) of a microprocecessor is determined by the hardware, specifically the width of the DATA BUS. The Intel 8086 is a 16-bit PROCESSOR because it can move 16 bits at a time over the data bus. The Intel 8088 is an 8-bit processor even though it has an identical instruction set. |
