In the 8086 microprocessor architecture, each segment can contain 64 kilobytes (KB) of data. Since 1 KB is equal to 1024 bytes, this means each segment can hold 65,536 bytes. The four segments typically used are the code segment, data segment, stack segment, and extra segment, allowing the processor to manage different types of information efficiently within its 1 MB addressable memory space.
