OK. Well 8085 has a RISC architecture and 8086 is based off the CISC architecture; basically the instruction set. So this affects factors like code size and execution cycles. Each one has some trade off, but yes, CISC is better and improved. 8086 is 16 bit, has newer instructions, stack based programming, has about 16 flag registers, segementation for better memory access. Well there are lots more…….
