According to Qualcomm it would. It's extremely Early days in this, but the claims from MS and Qualcomm indicate ARM x86 emulation being quite good, faster in some cases. MS is throwing a lot of weight behind their "Prism" x86 to ARM instruction mapper/translator. And without adding much in the way of power draw.
I'm not gonna pretend you can believe marketing bullshit, but there is definitely at least some real development happening here. And if you paired the newest Qualcomm chips with a chip like the Tegra, you could have some amazingly battery life.
So it's no guarentee, but it's a huge development happening that at the very is going to shake things up even if it doesn't make a direct impact in the end.
