I told him. (use internet for reading the answer). Q: Will you prefer 8085 or 8086? A: 8086. Q: Why? A: Umm..... Because it is advance, faster. Q: Why is it fast? A: Because of a higher clock rate I think. Q: Is that all? A: I don't know. Q: What is the word size of 8086? A: 16-bit Q: And 8085? A: 8-bit Q: So, in one cycle, how many bits will 8086 process? A: 16-bits. (Now it struck my mind) Oh! That means 8086 will process more in the same time because it has larger word size. Interviewer: Yeah.
