I’d be a bit surprised about that. Apple likes to keep things like this unified because it drastically cuts costs across the board. Additionally the chip design is going to share a lot with their mobile variants. I would expect the entire lineup to be replaced for laptops. It’s less clear for things like the Mac Pro line (or if they’ll even bother continuing that line).

Apple sold both 68K and PPC Macs for years. Even going further back in history, Apple sold Apple //e’s and Macs at the same time for 8 years.
