EXECUTION TIMINGS
A determination of program execution timing must
consider the bus cycles necessary to prefetch in-
structions as well as the number of execution unit
cycles necessary to execute instructions The fol-
lowing instruction timings represent the minimum ex-
ecution time in clock cycles for each instruction The
timings given are based on the following assump-
tions
 The opcode along with any data or displacement
required for execution of a particular instruction
has been prefetched and resides in the queue at
the time it is needed
 No wait states or bus HOLDS occur
 All word-data is located on even-address bound-
aries
All instructions which involve memory accesses can
also require one or two additional clocks above the
minimum timings shown due to the asynchronous
handshake between the bus interface unit (BIU) and
execution unit
All jumps and calls include the time required to fetch
the opcode of the next instruction at the destination
address
The 80186 has sufficient bus performance to ensure
that an adequate number of prefetched bytes will
reside in the queue (6 bytes) most of the time
Therefore actual program execution time will not be
substantially greater than that derived from adding
the instruction timings shown
The 80188 is noticeably limited in its performance
relative to the execution unit A sufficient number of
prefetched bytes may not reside in the prefetch
queue (4 bytes) much of the time Therefore actual
program execution time may be substantially greater
than that derived from adding the instruction timings
shown
