It's possible. I wouldn't necessarily bet on it, but it's possible.
Qualcomm is just licensing ARM's standard core designs. If I were a PC OEM, designing your own custom silicon around the ARM core might be tempting, if it allows you to better differentiate your product.

There's a problem there, though (that Apple doesn't have): a random PC OEM doesn't control the OS. So that means they have to beg Microsoft to add support for their custom architecture, which MS may not want to do, and instead say "we're standardizing on what Qualcomm does, so do that or get bent".
