Three - after 8086 you had 80286, 80386, 80486 and then Pentium (superscalar).

Four because you have to count 8086 itself (486 was one, not zero, geverations before the Pentium and so on).

80186 is often forgotten to have existed because it didn't see much success in the market / because IBM skipped it and went with 80286 for the AT, but it did exist.
