Best I can remember is that the 8088 (4.77mhz) came out with the IBM PC and PC XT. I think with the roll out of the AT - 8086's came out with 8Mhz speed. Seems like there may have even been a 10 Mhz version. The 8086 would have been an improvement over the 8088 and hence the bigger bus size. I think the 80286 came out shortly there after.
