It'll probably be at least another decade before Apple has chips suitable to replace Intel on all of their Macs and you can reasonably expect Apple to continue to support Intel Macs for at least that long... Tho they'll probably pull some BS with the macOS in 5 years or so to make Intel unattractive.
