Thanks for that one Borut. I just knew there was something 14-bit wide in
12(C/F)/16F devices which is 16-bit in 18F chips :) so the '8-bit'-ness of
the chip is actually the width of the busses inside the real processor?

Actually 18F* has 16-bit wide instructions while 16F* has 14-bit wide
instructions.
I think that there is no precise definition of what 8, 16, ... bit CPU
means: the address space, the widest chunk of date memory which can be
accessed with one instruction, the width of accumulators, ... I would
say that both 16F* and 18F* families are 8 bit, which is also
Microchip's statement.
