The 8085 microprocessor was an enhanced version of the 8080, primarily running on a single +5V power supply, hence the designation 8085.
The 8086 microprocessor was an enhanced version of the 8085, primarily running as a 16 bit processor, hence the designation 8086.
The 8088 microprocessor (part of the 8086/8088 family) was a version of the 8086 that run on an 8 bit bus, hence the designation 8088.

∙ 11y agoIt's just a product number. Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004 was a 4-bit chip, as was the 4040 which succeeded it. The first 4 probably signified the fact it was 4-bit, but all the support chips also began with a 4, such as the 4001, the 256-byte ROM, which was actually 8-bit, not 4-bit.
The 8008 was their first 8-bit microprocessor, followed by the 8080 and the 8085.
Again, the first 8 originally signified the fact it was 8-bit, but the 8086 was their first 16-bit microprocessor so the significance of the first 8 is blurred. However, they continued the numbering scheme throughout subsequent microprocessors including the 8088, 80286, 80386 and 80486 (8286 had already been used for a support chip so the extra 0 was inserted to differentiate them).
Intel finally abandoned the 80 numbers when they switched to Pentium/P5, followed by P6, NetBurst, Pentium M, Pentium M Enhanced and Intel Core. They then entered the tick/tock naming convention with Penryn (tick), Nehalem (tock), Westmore (tick), Sandy Bridge (tock), Ivy Bridge (tick), Haswell (tock), Broadwell (tick), Skylake (tock) and Skymont (tick). The clever money is on the next one being something-mont (tock).
However, Intel haven't completely abandoned the numbers. The Sandy Bridge, for instance, is also known as the 80623.

third 8 means 8bits,its wordlength is 1byte.
80 indicates it was devoloped in eightys(1976)

What is 8086 processor?
it primarily running as a 16 bit processor..so it is so called as 8086
Why implement 8086 processor to 8087 processor?
The 8086/8088 is the general purpose processor. The 8087 is the math co-processor for the 8086/8088.
A generic name for Intel processors released after the original 8086 processor is?
x86
What is meant by co processor configuraiton in 8086?
The co-processor on an 8086/8088 is the 8087 math co-processor. The motherboard will be designed with an extra socket for the 8087, which then integrates with the 8086/8088 to make a single unified processor.
What represent 8086?
8086 means its a 8 bit processor and 86 is its model number
Why 8086micro processors are called co- procossers?
The 8086 is not a co-processor. The 8087 is. The 8087 is intended to be coupled to an 8086/8088 to do math co-processing.
What are the different PC motherboards compatible with 8086 processor?
No remotely modern motherboard is compatible with an 8086 processor. The old IBM PC clones from the early to mid 1980s would have been the only motherboards to support the 8086.
Why it is called 8080 processor?
The 8085 microprocessor was an enhanced version of the 8080, primarily running on a single +5V power supply, hence the designation 8085.The 8086 microprocessor was an enhanced version of the 8085, primarily running as a 16 bit processor, hence the designation 8086.The 8088 microprocessor (part of the 8086/8088 family) was a version of the 8086 that run on an 8 bit bus, hence the designation 8088.
8086 micro processor memory segmentation and advantage and rules?
hhh
What is the maximum and minimum signed number that can be stored in a memory location in the 8086 processor?
The 8086/8088 processor is a 16 bit processor. In a 16 bit two's complement notation, the maximum number is 0x7FFF, or 32767, while the minimum number is 0x8000, or -32768.
Is Pentium 4 is Intel 8086 microprocessor?
No. The Pentium IV is not an Intel 8086. It is closer to the 80586.
Which steps follow 8086 after reset?
The processor executes a JMP FFFF:0000
