The internal design is 2-die max, so that'll be a somewhat puny Pro by Mac Pro standards. Maybe a Mac Mini Pro?
I expect them to come up with something much crazier with a newer design, perhaps in the M2 generation. Doesn't mean much, but the IRQ controller architecture and driver in these machines claim to scale to 8 dies, even though the existing implementation in the M1 Max is sized for 2. That's no guarantee they're looking at a product like that, but they might be.
