Product information "8088 CPU Processor"

8088 CPU Processor (40-Pin Microprocessor)

The 8088 is a classic microprocessor with 16-bit internal architecture and an 8-bit external data bus. Used in early Gottlieb arcade hardware, this 40-pin DIP CPU executes the game program, processes player inputs, and communicates with memory and supporting circuitry.

Games such as Mad Planets, Krull, and Reactor use the 8088 as their main processor. A working CPU is essential for proper board operation, making it a replacement component for compatible arcade PCB repair and restoration.
