The Intel 80188 is a version of the
Intel 80186 microprocessor with an 8 bit external
data bus, instead of 16 bit. This makes it less expensive to connect to
peripherals. Since the 80188 is very similar to the 80186, it had a throughput of 1 million
instructions per second.
[1]As the
8086, the 80188 featured four 16-bit general
registers, which could also be accessed as eight 8-bit registers. It also included six more 16-bit registers, which included, for example, the
stack pointer, the
instruction pointer,
index registers, or a status word register that acted like a flag, for example, in comparison operations.
