8-bit can refer to a CPU or memory interface that is capable of addressing and transferring 8 bits of data per clock cycle. In more technical terms, this means processors can work with 8-bit binary numbers (decimal numbers up to 255); anything larger, and the computer would need to break the data into smaller pieces.
