The first IBM PC (the IBM 5150) used the Intel 8088 a version of the Intel 8086 with a multiplexed 8 bit databus instead of the full width 16 bit databus, to reduce package size and cost.
IBM had also considered using the Motorola 68008 a version of the Motorola 68000 with a multiplexed 8 bit databus instead of the full width 16 bit databus, to reduce package size and cost; but Motorola could not promise delivery until a year later (due to fabrication problems) and Intel had their chip ready on the shelf.
