Question

In total, how many 8-bit registers are there in the Intel 80x86 CPU design presented in class? Name one of these 8-bit registers.

Answer 1

Answer:

In general the number of  bit registers in Intel 80x86 CPU design when combined together forms a 16 - bit register

An example of the  -bit registers are AH, AL, BH, BL, CH, CL, DH, and DL

Explanation:

Solution

The 8086 CPU design has a total of eight 8-bit registers and these register can be integrated together to make 16- bit register as well.

The 16-bit data is stored by breaking the data into a low-order byte and high order byte.

The name of the 8 bit registers is shown below:

AH, AL, BH, BL, CH, CL, DH, and DL
