Apple may be transitioning to in-house SoCs, but it will keep at least one Mac product on Intel processors until next year. The MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 are expected to expand Apple's Mac lineup by this holiday season, with a new Mac mini the only replacement for existing hardware.

I'm not so sure apple intends to 'marry' their new apple silicon with dedicated GPUs in their pro line or anywhere. The biggest reason they moved to their own silicon was that chip suppliers weren't providing chips that allowed them to go where they wanted. I see it much more likely that they scale apple silicon GPU cores way up than they reinvent the wheel to once again be tied to nvidia/ati for their graphics needs.
Much more likely IMO to see 12-16 gpu core macbook pros and 16-24-32 gpu core mac mini pro and mac pro desktops.
I think the days of apple using 3rd party dedicated GPUs will end with their reliance on intel.
