I expect them to offer an ARM mac pro soon, and upgrade the existing intel mac pro for a couple more years.

I think there's sufficient info out there to the effect that there will be at least one more Intel Mac Pro hardware update before the full AS transition ends, so I think you're right. I think anyone buying a new (even 2019) Intel Mac Pro would be rightfully pissed if they weren't getting intel-based macOS support for at least another 4 years.

Even Tim  himself said intel systems would be supported for "many years to come". Having said that, as a consumer I wouldn't buy an Intel mac at this point. At all. Ever.

i spent like 13 grand (of my works money) on an intel mac pro in uh, 2019, so, i hope they support it for a while lol

I'd be thinking your worst case of actual support would be 2024 or '25. You could probably keep going for a few years after that - at least until the security patches stop.

If they DO release another Intel mac Pro.. who knows?
