APPENDIX
CONCLUSION
The results
of
this benchmark study show that for the
programs used, the Intel iAPX 88/10 significantly out-
performed the Motorola
MC6809. In absolute execution
speed, the
iAPX 88/10 proved to be
860{0
faster than the
MC6809 (using the Adjusted Average). When compared
at equal memory access times, the iAPX 88/10 outper-
formed the
MC6809 by
1l00{0.
On the basis
of
coding
efficiency, the
iAPX 88/10 generated
less
than half
as
much object code
as
the MC6809. In the Ease
of
Pro-
gramming category, the results showed that the MC6809
required more than 2.6 times the number
of
lines
of
code required by the iAPX 88/10. These results are
summarized in the table below.

The iAPX
88
is
the highest performance 8-bit micro-
processor in the market today. The already superior per-
formance
of
the iAPX
88
will
be increased by 60% when
the 8 MHz version
is
available.in
1981.
This, together
with the upgrade path to other object code compatible
processor series in the Microsystem
80 product line
(iAPX
86,
iAPX
188,
186
and iAPX 286, 288), and the
unequalled hardware and software support, makes it
clear that Intel delivers the best solution
to
the many ap-
plications which require a powerful 8-bit microproc-
essor.
