In computing, a wait state is a signal sent to the processor telling it to wait before sending more data. Originally wait states were introduced for processors in personal computers with the then new AT data bus which although faster than the old PC data bus quickly became a bottleneck as processors became faster, too fast for the data bus and connected expansion boards.
