The introduction of the 8086 microprocessor in 1978 set the
stage for an industry and worldwide standard that would
become the basis for the architecture of every computer made
today, regardless of the operating system. This chip had a
certain set of features that led to it becoming the chip that
almost all modern processors are based on.
