The 8-bit computer architecture is a microprocessor architecture that has a datapath width or a highest operand width of 8 bits or an octet. These architectures typically have a matching register file with registers width of 8 bits.

Applications

As a departure from the older 4-bit microprocessors, 8-bit CPUs were used in many military applications, instrumentation, and complex control and processing systems.
