The 8086 was introduced in 1978 as a fully 16-bit extension of Intel's 8-bit 8080 microprocessor, with memory segmentation as a solution for addressing more memory. The term "X-86" came into being because the names of several successors to Intel's 8086 processor end in "86", including the 80186, 80286, 80386 and 80486 processors.This paper is an in detail study of X-86 family consisting of its features, advantages, applications, instruction set and overview of other processors/extensions in the X-86 family.Architecture,Programmer's model and Various addressing modes are also explained briefly.
