The Intel 8089 input/output coprocessor was available for use with the 8086/8088 central processor. It was announced in May 1979, but the price was not available at that time.Intel Corporation, "Microcomputer Components: Intel Introduces the 8089 IOP, an I/O processor for the advanced 8088/8086 CPU family, the first of a series of new subsystem components", Intel Preview, May/June 1979, p. 7. It used the same programming technique as 8087 for input/output operations, such as transfer of data from memory to a peripheral device, and so reducing the load on the CPU. This I/O processor was available in July 1979 for US$194.20 in quantities of 100 or more.Intel Corporation, "8089 Price Announcement", Intel Preview, July/August 1979, p. 25. Intel second sourced this coprocessor to Fujitsu Limited.Intel Corporation, "NewsBits: Second Source News", Solutions, January/February 1985, P. 1

Because IBM didn't use it in the IBM PC design, it did not become well known; later Intel I/O coprocessors did not keep the x89 designation the way math coprocessors kept the x87 designation. It was used in the Apricot PC and the Intel Multibus iSBC-215 Hard disk drive controller.{{cite web|url=http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/intel/iSBC/144780-002_iSBC_215_Generic_Winchester_Disk_Controller_Hardware_Reference_Manual_Dec84.pdf|access-date=30 April 2023|website=Intel|title=Hardware manual}} It was also used in the Altos 586 multi-user computer.{{cite book |title=Review: Altos 586 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0C8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA89 |date=7 November 1983 |publisher=InfoWorld |pages=89–90 |issn=0199-6649}} Intel themselves used the 8089 in their reference designs (which they also commercialized) as System 86.{{cite web |url=http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/intel/system3xx/172758-001_Introduction_to_the_System_86_330_and_380_Systems_Mar83.pdf |title=Introduction to the System 86/360 and System 86/330A Microcomputer Systems |author= |date=1983 |website=bitsavers |publisher=Intel |access-date=November 30, 2022}}
