It depends, Microsoft are setting limits for the hardware, so I don't think you will really see device that it doesn't run well on. The limits are only for tablets though, so netbooks might still take a hit.
But the OS isn't going to be out until next year, probably not before Q3/Q4, and chip speeds will have been upped enough to make a Windows 8 tablet viable. The chips in the NGP should be more than enough to handle Windows 8, so I doubt it will be a problem when all is said and done.
