45 Years Intel 8088

Hey folks, 45 years ago, exactly on June 1st, 1979, the i8088 was born. This date marks a unique milestone in the x86 CPU history. Let´s explore this milestone a bit more in detail together. In this video I talk about the CPU evolution of the 70s and early 80s starting with Intel´s first microprocessor. The 8088 is an 8-bit version of the 8086. IBM chose this CPU due to several reasons that I will touch in the video. As a result, the 8088 can be regarded as THE grandfather of all PC processors having been used in the original IBM PC and IBM XT. From then on, x86 CPUs were set as standard and still is! I will also decap an i8088 and look at the microstructures using my metallurgical microscope. The microstructures of the CPU were identified with the reference of Ken Shirriff´s blog about the 8088 (Ken Shirriff's blog: 8088 (righto.com). I also could make a quick stitch of the processor using my 4x objective (+2x optical lense) resulting in 50 pictures to be stitched. I hope you enjoy this birthday video dedicated to the Intel 8088!
