The 8086 CPU is the first CPU to ever have the x86 architecture. It was used in the IBM PC which was widely popular.

This page is only talking about EMULATORS, not HYPERVISORS. Hypervisors don't emulate old CPUs, they use your computer's specs which totally breaks software and OSes. Emulators actually emulate the components of the old computers, like mouses, keyboards, sound cards, and more.

Notes

DOSBox-X
The Git readme file (Under the Comments on what DOSBox-X is lacking) for DOSBox-X states that "DOSBox-X contains code only to emulate the 8088 through the Pentium Pro. If Pentium II or higher emulation is desired, consider using Bochs or QEMU instead. DOSBox-X may eventually develop Pentium II emulation..." if the user demand is there.
MAME
The emulation of various CPU types seen here regarding MAME are all over the place in the change logs and seem to be confusing. But MAME has preliminary support for the families of 286, 386/i386, 486/i486 and almost the entire range of the Pentium CPUs. But the emulation of color, sound and graphics for various CPUs and PC's based on the 286/386/486 architecture are good. According to ProjectMESS, many IBM PC/AT 5170 family PC's running the 286 CPU have preliminary support. MAME 0.146u3 (Jul 2012) added CPU types for Pentium MMX, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4.
