Evolution of 8-Bit Microprocessors

The document discusses the history and evolution of microprocessors from 8-bit to 64-bit. It outlines several generations of Intel microprocessors including the 8-bit Intel 8085 from 1976, the 16-bit Intel 80286 from 1982, the 32-bit Intel Pentium from 1993 with 110 million instructions per second, and the 64-bit dual core processor from 2006 and Intel Core i7 from 2008 with multiple cores and caches. The document traces the increasing complexity and capabilities of microprocessors over time through increases in bus widths, clock speeds, transistor counts, memory addressing and instructions per second.
