MCL86 is a cycle accurate Intel 8088 FPGA Core that can be used within an FPGA design or as a standalone in-circuit replacement for a real 8088.

An iconic processor for an iconic PC. The Intel 8088 Micro-processor ran at 5MHz, representing a 50-times speed boost against the 4004 chip eight years before, and it included 29,000 transistors ...

The Intel 8088 (and its big brother 8086) processor was among the first microprocessors to implement (instruction) prefetching in hardware, which [Ken Shirriff] has analyzed based on die images of ...

The Intel 8088 processor was launched on June 1, 1979, and a few years later IBM picked this CPU to be inside its first personal computer. 44 years later, the influence of the 8088 is still felt.

Intel's 8088 was a cut-down version of the original 8086 with an 8-bit data bus; in the Book 8088 and the IBM PC, it runs at a clock speed of 4.77 MHz.

The starting price is for just the basic computer, which is a 240 x 150 x 30mm (9.4″ x 5.9″ x 1.2″) system with an Intel 8088 chip, IBM-CGA graphics card, 640KB of memory, and a 16-color ...

Intel’s first significant CPU based in x86 turns 45 today. The 8088 Microprocessor was launched in 1979 and was Intel's first significant CPU, to bring its x86 architecture into prominence. It ...

The Intel 8088 Micro-processor ran at 5MHz, representing a 50-times speed boost against the 4004 chip eight years before, and it included 29,000 transistors – which was more than 12 times the ...

Intel’s 80386 processors not only jumped from 16-bit operation to 32-bit, ... The Book 8088 could scrape by because most of what you could do with it involved white blocky text on a black ...

1981 - Intel's 8088 microprocessor, with 29,000 transistors, becomes the brain in the IBM Personal Computer, kicking off the era of personal computing.

Intel's 8088 became the "good enough" cheaper option to its 8086 processor released a couple of years earlier. The 8088 halved the 8086's external bus from 16-bit to 8-bit for those with tighter ...
