The original 8052 had a 12-clock structure, one machine cycle required 12 clocks, and most instructions were one or two machine cycles. So, in addition to the multiplication and division instructions, each instruction in 8052 uses 12 or 24 clocks, and in addition, each cycle in 8052 uses two memory retrievals. In many cases, the second one is a fake extraction, and the extra clock is wasted.

The OB38R08A1 is a fast single-chip 8-bit microcontroller core. This is a full-featured 8-bit embedded controller that executes all ASM51 instructions with the same instruction settings as the MCS-51.
