According to Qualcomm executive vice president Cristiano Amon, Snapdragon 845-powered PCs should arrive in the second half of 2018. Many wondered why the first Snapdragon-powered devices are shipping with the 835 at all, as the 845 was announced soon after: well, it’s because x86 emulation on ARM is a new technology, and the companies are starting with what's been tested.
You should see Snapdragon 845 in phones first and most likely in PCs for the back-to-school market by early Q3 2018. Qualcomm executives pointed out that this is a big learning curve for both Microsoft and Qualcomm, but that both companies are very confident in its success. The launch of the PCs and phones might be more in sync with future generations, but this will depend on the success of the early devices that are about to start shipping in the early part of 2018.
