Why do you think so?

they will be supporting the intel ecosystem for a while
apps will need to be ported for new chipset
I have a MPB13 on the way and not too worried about it.
If you wanna hold strain a next year for the ARM, that's a safe play too

Get the i9 8core. ARM macbooks won't offer pro level performance until maybe 2 years down the road and even then that might only be in Apple Apps. The i9 is a beast and in many benchmarks performs almost as fast as the new AMD super beast the Ryzen 4900.
Are you going 16gb or 32gb?

I’ve heard too many disappointing snippets about ARM over the last few days - intel is certainly a much safer play plus I heard a few Apple Senior Execs day that the current intel macs will be supported for “A long long time”, so I’ll go with current fleet

I really need it for some complex math modelling for my research. My 2013 MBP does quite a good job, but it's pretty much EOL and I'll give it to the wifey. Still get about 3 hours of video play on the battery which is stellar on a 6+ year old laptop. 5 years is a good upgrade cycle for me, with apple. My last couple Dells used to last about 18months before the battery life tanked.
