Template:Computer architecture bit widthsIn computer architecture, 8-bit integers or other data units are those that are 8 bits wide (1 octet). 8-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers or data buses of that size. Memory addresses (and thus address buses) for 8-bit processors are generally larger than 8-bit, usually 16-bits.
