The impact of the Intel 8086 processor on the computer industry is hard to overestimate. It pioneered the x86 architecture, which is still used in most computers today. Intel 8086, introduced on June ...

Forty-two years ago today, Intel launched the original 8086 microprocessor -- the grandfather of every x86 CPU ever built, including the ones we use now. This, it must be noted, is more or less ...

Thirty years ago, on June 8, 1978, Intel Corp. introduced its first 16-bit microprocessor, the 8086, with a splashy ad heralding "the dawn of a new era." Overblown? Sure, but also prophetic. While ...

While the 8086 was slow to take off, its underlying architecture — later referred to as x86—would become one of technology’s most impressive success stories.

Home > Computing Happy 42nd Anniversary to the Original Intel 8086 and the x86 Architecture Happy 40th birthday to one of the most important CPUs ever built -- and the beginning of the PC revolution.

IBM’s selection of the 8088, an 8086 variant, to power its PC in the early ’80s gave the x86 architecture tremendous momentum and helped it become an industry standard that persists today.

To reduce the engineering effort needed to incorporate the 8086 into designs, Intel opted for an on-board charge pump to generate the bias voltage.
