8-bit microprocessor

An 8-bit microprocessor is a central processing unit (CPU) that processes data and instructions in 8-bit chunks. It typically features an 8-bit data bus and 8-bit registers, allowing it to handle numbers and operations up to 8 bits long. Widely used in early computers, embedded systems, and classic gaming consoles, 8-bit microprocessors are known for their simplicity, efficiency, and role in the foundation of modern computing technology. This tag covers topics related to 8-bit CPU architecture, programming, history, and applications.
