The 8085 microprocessor was a beast when it was released. It was an 8 bit microprocessor which could access a total on 64Kb of memory, which was amazing in those days. But then just two years later this processor was replaced with a much faster and powerful processor, the 8086.
Here is the difference between both of them:

Intel 8085
- 8-bit microprocessor.
- 16-bit long address bus & access 64 KB memory.
- It has not pipelining.
- It has not segmented memory.
- It has only 8 software interrupts.
- It has integrated clock generator and bus controller.
- It operates in single processor mode.

Intel 8086
- 16-bit microprocessor.
- 20-bit long address bus & access 1 MB memory.
- It has pipelining.
- It has segmented memory.
- It has 256 software interrupts.
- It need to interface clock generator and bus controller externally.
- It operates in single & multi-processor modes.
