Hello Scott,
Not true, but I see your point 
I'd say a processor with 64bit registers, ALU and so forth AND 64bit
addressing makes it 64bit, but without the bus and MMU it's pretty much
useless.
Intel claimed the 8086 was a 16-bit processor, since the internal data
paths were 16-bit even though the data buss was only 8-bit.
From what I remember from the datasheets, the 8086 did have a external
16 bit data bus.
The 8088 which was actually used in the original IBM PC, was a scaled
down version which only has a 8 bit data bus.
Yes, I meant the 8088. My error.
The 68008 was the same way, too.
