Apple said new intel macs later this year. So likely they will update the Macbook Pro 16 with 10th-gen intel processor like they did with iMac 27 2020.

Where did Apple specifically say they were releasing new Macs with Intel?

"In fact, we have some new Intel based Macs in the pipeline that we're really excited about," [Tim Cook] continued.

It's unclear whether Tim Cook was talking about multiple Mac models or a single model, but it sounds more like multiple models. My guess is that the iMac Pro and Mac Pro are the Intel models that Cook was talking about, although it's also possible that they will be offered simultaneously with M-chip alternatives. It's also possible that there could be hybrid machines, for example, an existing or future Intel Mac Pro could have an Mx-chip "Mac-on-a-PCI-card." (The Mx-chip on this might be a variation without a video core because the Mac Pro has its own video. This sounds too complicated to me, but it remains a possibility.)

No signs that the M1 in the Pro is any faster than the Air. All the speed comparisons used the same line: "faster than 98% of PC laptops at the same price." 

I've always thought the 13" Pro was the worst-of-both-worlds model, more true now than ever. I'm pretty sure all you get from it is a Touch Bar that most people hate, and a bigger battery… even the RAM options are the same!

oh, I guess the 13" Pro has a fan, so could conceivably turbo-boost a lot longer, better sustained GPU performance.
