As I recall hearing (reading ;), the 8086 indeed came out before the 8088, 
but it was never used in an XT or PC.
If the 8086 was in the original XT's and Intel THEN came out with the 8088, 
then that implies that the PC's must have come with the 8086 also, which is 
certainly incorrect; I've seen MANY 8088 CPU's; I don't recall ever seeing a 
8086, even in those PS/2's that came with them (very compact design; the 
display electonics were pretty much in the way of everything when working on 
the guts, as I recall)
