Byte addressing might still need to access 8-bit data over its 64-bit address line, and have the data returned in the bottom 8 bits of its longer data line.

An eight-bit processor like the Intel 8008 addresses eight bits, but as this is the full width of the bus, this is regarded as word-addressable. The 386SX, which addresses memory in 8-bit units but can fetch and store it 16 bits at a time, is termed byte-addressable. Bytes have not always meant
