MUL and DIV instructions. Furthermore, each cycle in the
8051 used two memory fetches. In many cases, the second
fetch was a "dummy" fetch and extra clocks were wasted.
Table 1
shows the speed advantage of Core8051 over the
standard 8051. A speed advantage of 12 in the first
column means that Core8051 performs the same
instruction 12 times faster than the standard 8051. The
second column in
Table 1
lists the number of types of
instructions that have the given speed advantage. The
third column lists the total number of instructions that
have the given speed advantage. The third column can be
thought of as a subcategory of the second column. For
example, there are two types of instructions that have a
three-time speed advantage over the classic 8051, for
which there are nine explicit instructions.

General Description
The Core8051 macro is a high-performance, single-chip, 8-
bit microcontroller. It is a fully functional eight-bit
embedded controller that executes all ASM51 instructions
and has the same instruction set as the 80C31. Core8051
provides software and hardware interrupts, a serial port,
and two timers.
The Core8051 architecture eliminates redundant bus
states and implements parallel execution of fetch and
execution phases. Since a cycle is aligned with memory
fetch when possible, most of the one-byte instructions are
performed in a single cycle. Core8051 uses one clock per
cycle. This leads to an average performance improvement
rate of 8.0 (in terms of MIPS) with respect to the Intel
device working with the same clock frequency.
The original 8051 had a 12-clock architecture. A machine
cycle needed 12 clocks, and most instructions were either
one or two machine cycles. Therefore, the 8051 used
either 12 or 24 clocks for each instruction, except for the
The average speed advantage is 8.0. However, the real
speed improvement seen in any system will depend on the
instruction mix.
