Description:AMD 8088 microprocessor is almost identical to
the AMD 8086 processor with the exception of
the external data bus. External data bus width of
the 8088 was reduced to 8 bits, and instruction
queue size and prefetching algorithms were
changed. Intel 8088 used two consecutive bus
cycles to write or read 16 bit data instead of
one cycle for the 8086. This made the processor
to run slower, but on the plus side the hardware
changes in the 8088 CPU made it compatible with
8080/8085 peripherals.
