An iconic processor for an iconic PC. The Intel 8088 Micro-processor ran at 5MHz, representing a 50-times speed boost against the 4004 chip eight years before, and it included 29,000 transistors ...

The Intel 8088 processor was launched on June 1, 1979, and a few years later IBM picked this CPU to be inside its first personal computer. 44 years later, the influence of the 8088 is still felt.

If Intel only had retroactively updated the 8088/8086 line with the “8086-2” ISA (there are 8086-1 and 8086-2 chips, but they’re not related to the instructions set). The Z80 series had an ...

Intel's 8088 was a cut-down version of the original 8086 with an 8-bit data bus; in the Book 8088 and the IBM PC, it runs at a clock speed of 4.77 MHz.

This is the Intel 8088.A beast with 29,000 transistors that could be clocked up 8MHz in its 1979 heyday, it was the second chip to use the x86 architecture, and the brains inside the original IBM PC.

Intel’s first significant CPU based in x86 turns 45 today. The 8088 Microprocessor was launched in 1979 and was Intel's first significant CPU, to bring its x86 architecture into prominence. It ...

On June 1, 1979, Intel introduced the 4.77 MHz 8088 microprocessor, featuring 16-bit registers and, unlike its predecessor, the 16-bit 8086, had an 8-bit external data bus. With that, as well as ...

The starting price is for just the basic computer, which is a 240 x 150 x 30mm (9.4″ x 5.9″ x 1.2″) system with an Intel 8088 chip, IBM-CGA graphics card, 640KB of memory, and a 16-color ...

The original PC and XT systems, built around the Intel 8088 chip, are no longer bestsellers. But there are as many as 20 million of them in use and scads of software continues to be written for them.

Intel followed its 8080 with the 8-bit 8085 and introduced the 16-bit 8086 in 1978. That was followed by the 8088, which had the same 16-bit internal architecture but was connected to an 8-bit ...
