The document compares the 8085 and 8086 microprocessors. It notes that the 8086 was an improvement over the 8085 in several ways: it had a 16-bit data bus and 20-bit address bus compared to the 8085's 8-bit data bus and 16-bit address bus. The 8086 also had faster clock speeds, supported pipelining and memory segmentation, and had more transistors, flags, and arithmetic instructions. Overall, the 8086 was a more powerful processor able to perform tasks faster than the 8085.

3. 8086 MICROPROCESSOR

4. Differences
• 8085 is the first commercially successful microprocessor by Intel.
• Then came 8086, intel combine with IBM and creates history.
• Obviously, 8086 is way better than 8085 in every aspect.
• Programming in 8085 is harder than 8086.
• 8085 instruction cycle works as Fetch, Decode and Execute where
8086 can decode and execute the instruction while fetching next
instruction from the memory because of pipelining.
• 8085 have one ALU while 8086 have two ALUs (one to perform
arithmetic operation and other one to generate physical address of
next instruction stored in memory ).

5. • 8086 is divided into 2 parts BIU (bus interface unit ) and EU (
execution unit).
• BIU fetch the instruction and EU will execute that instruction while
executing BIU keep fetching the instruction side by side , that’s how
8086 do two things at a time and generate output faster that 8085.
