Purpose of using Instruction Queue: BIU contains an instruction queue. When the EU executes instructions, the BIU gets up to 6 bytes of the next instruction and stores them in the instruction queue and this process is called instruction prefetch. This is a process to speed up the processor. A subtle advantage of instruction queue …
Internal architecture of 8086 microprocessor If we study the internal architecture of 8086 microprocessor, we can see that it has two major units; Execution Unit (EU) and Bus Interface Unit (BIU). They are dependent and work with each other. In the following given figure, which is a block diagram of 8086 microprocessor, it can be …
The Intel 8086, also called the iAPX 86, is a 16-bit microprocessor designed by Intel corporation between 1976-1978. This Intel 8086 microprocessor gave rise to the x86 architecture or 16-bit architecture. The figure given below is the internal architecture of Intel 8086 microprocessor
