The surface area of a cube can be calculated by finding the area of each face and then adding them together. Since all faces of a cube are square and have the same area, we can find the area of one face and then multiply it by 6 to get the total surface area.

Area of one face = (side length)^2
= (8 inches)^2
= 64 square inches

Total surface area = 6 x (area of one face)
= 6 x 64 square inches
= 384 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of a cube with a side length of 8 inches is 384 square inches.
