Differences between 8085 and 8086 microprocessor

In the changing world of technologies, the devices used are also changing. Let us take a look at the changes between 8085 series of microprocessors and 8086 series of microprocessors.

Serial No.	8085 microprocessor	8086 microprocessor
1	The data bus is of 8 bits.	The data bus is of 16 bits.
2	The address bus is of 16 bits.	The address bus is of 20 bits.
3	The memory capacity is 64 KB. Also 8085 Can Perform Operation Up to 28 i.e. 256 numbers. A number greater than this is to taken multiple times in 8 bit data bus.	The memory capacity is 1 MB. Also 8086 Can Perform Operation up to 216 i.e. 65,536 numbers.
4	The input/output port addresses are of 8 bits.	The input/output port addresses are of 8 bits.
5	The operating frequency is 3.2 MHz.	The operating frequency is 5 MHz, 8MHZ,10MHZ.
6	8085 MP has Single Mode Of Operation.	8086 MP has Two Modes Of Operation. 1. Minimum Mode = Single CPU PROCESSOR 2. Maximum Mode = Multiple CPU PROCESSOR.
7	It not have multiplication and division instructions.	It have multiplication and division instructions.
8	It does not support pipe-lining.	It supports pipe-lining as it has two independent units Execution Unit (EU) and Bus Interface Unit (BIU).
9	It does not support instruction queue.	It supports instruction queue.
10	Memory space is not segmented.	Memory space is segmented.
11	It consists of 5 flags(Sign Flag, Zero Flag, Auxiliary Carry Flag, Parity Flag, Carry Flag).	It consists of 9 flags(Overflow Flag, Direction Flag, Interrupt Flag, Trap Flag, Sign Flag, Zero Flag, Auxiliary Carry Flag, Parity Flag, Carry Flag).
12	It is low cost Microprocessor	It is comparatively High cost Microprocessor.
13	There are 5 Addressing Modes.	There are 11 addressing modes.
14	There is no concurrency in Fetching, Decoding and execution.	There is Concurrency in Fetching , Decoding and Execution because of instruction queue.
15	It has almost 6500 transistors.	It has almost 29000 transistors.
16	It is Accumulator based Microprocessor because Accumulator contains major activity in ALU Operations in store and updating calculations.	It is General Purpose Registers(GPR) based microprocessor because there is not specific Accumulator attached with the input of ALU. all GPR’s are connected with it via Bus.
17	Integer ,Decimal and Hexadecimal arithmetic is supported	It also supports ASCII Arithmetic over Integer, Decimal and Hexadecimal.
18	It needed less external hardware.	It needed more external hardware. Because here more than 1 processor works and additional external processor can also be employed as per requirements.
19	It runs over 50% duty cycle. That means for one instruction cycle clock pulse held high for 50% of the pulse.	It runs over 33% duty cycle. That means for one instruction cycle clock pulse held high for 33% of the pulse.
20	In 8085 Microprocessor for immediate addressing modes there is instructions containing “I” in it. e.g. MVI , LXI etc.	In 8086 Microprocessor for immediate addressing modes there is no instruction containing “I” in it. In other words there is no MVI instruction in 8086 for moving/transfer data. Only MOV instruction is sufficient.
21	In 8085 microprocessor ADD ,SUB instructions were carried out in Accumulator by default. It is used only 1 register for arithmetic operation because another register is fixed and it is accumulator. Example : ADD C  will do [A]<- [A] + [C]	In 8086 microprocessor , we can give source and destination register and according to that addition or any arithmetic operations will be performed. For Example : ADD AX,BX  will do [AX] <- [AX] + [BX]
