Then came the Intel 8085 processor.This processor creates attraction throughout the world for its architecture and processing capabilities. But following that really steal the scene much for Intel 8086 and 8088. These processors are 16-bit capacity and really revolutionized the way people regarded the microprocessor.Many devices to start with the microprocessor and thus was born the computer by connecting the appropriate devices. 8086 is the first processor that can be used commercially as a computer processor.
