On this day 47 years ago, on June 8, 1978 (May 3, 1978 lunar calendar), Intel launched the 8086 processor. On June 8, 1978, Intel released its own 8086 processor, thus starting the legend of the X86 processor. However, due to the relatively high specifications of the 8086 at that time, the price was more unacceptable, so Intel launched a simplified version of the 8086, the 8088. Compared with the 8086 processor, the 8088 is 16-bit in internal instructions, but the 8088 is 8-bit on the external data bus, and has some shrinkage in other specifications such as addressable memory space. However, even the performance of the 8088 was enough to meet the needs of the DOS operating system and various applications at that time. In this way, with the popularity of IBMPC, Intel also began its own X86 legend. Comments: The development of computer equipment updates is very rapid
