 NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Intel 8086
The 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor chip designed by Intel in 1978, which gave rise to the x86 architecture.
The Bus Interface Unit fed the instruction stream to the Execution Unit through a 6 byte prefetch queue, so fetch and execution were concurrent – a primitive form of pipelining (8086 instructions varied from 1 to 4 bytes).
Shortly later the Intel 8088 was introduced with an external 8-bit bus, allowing the use of cheap chipsets.

 Microprocessore: Tutte le informazioni su Microprocessore su Encyclopedia.it
IBM scelse l'Intel 8088 per il suo primo PC al posto dell'8086 perchè era compatibile con tutto il software per l'8086, ma aveva un bus dati esterno a 8 bit invece che a 16 ed era compatibile a livello hardware con tutti i circuiti esistenti sviluppati per l'8085.
Dal 1980 in poi i fabbricanti e i modelli prodotti iniziarono a moltiplicarsi: ricordiamo soltanto il Motorola 68000 e l'Intel 8086, entrambi a 16 bit anziché a 8, ed entrambi capostipiti di due numerose e longeve famiglie di microprocessori.

 Virtual 8086 Mode Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography
It is used to execute DOS programs in Microsoft Windows and OS/2 through Virtual DOS machines, in SCO UNIX through Merge and in Linux through dosemu.
Protected mode DOS programs, either 16 or 32-bit, do not execute in virtual 8086 mode, but rather in user mode (as long as they are DPMI compatible), so the above emulators do actually more than just supporting the virtual 8086 mode.
In the x86 CPU architecture Virtual 8086 mode, also called virtual-real mode, allows the execution of real mode code under the control of a protected mode operating system.
