Quote for today (from Microsystems, January, 1984): "We introduced the 8088 as an 8-bit microprocessor because although the internal architecture is 16-bits the I/O bus interface is that of the 8085. It was not until IBM introduced the IBM PC that we discovered it really was a 16-bit microprocessor. We could tell it because we read it in all the ads in the airline magazines." -David House Vice President and General Manager Microcomputer Group Intel Corporation
