Doubt it, I suspect Microsoft will get an exclusivity deal going on with them so they're only sold to Windows-on-ARM machines.

From the article:
> Regardless, the primary purpose of the Linux demo was to showcase that Linux was working on the Snapdragon Elite X as well – that it’s not just for Windows – as Qualcomm has aims of getting the SoC into Linux laptops as well.
Some person on the internet [1] says "The good news is that the exclusivity of Microsoft's Qualcomm 8cx series has ended. Moving forward, we will be able to encounter the 8cx series in a greater variety of form factors. For instance, there are plans to incorporate the 8cx Gen4 into Chromebooks as well." I'm not sure if exclusivity of 8cx Gen4 is different from X Elite though.
