The line up includes a 16' Macbook Pro, and likely a 14', plus possibly a replacement for the Mac Mini 'Server' they used to sell, and possibly a mid range 27' iMac, all with the same 10 core chip. The next round of Apple Silicon is expected to be announced sometime this month, it should include a 10 core chip, or double the performance of the initial M1. The choice is not so great IMO right now for die hards like me and you (09 Mac Pro, 2012 Macbook Pro), because IMO it's not a good idea if you're thinking 10 years on a computer to buy the Intel models, but the real killer Apple Silicon has not been announced yet. DP11 is Apple Silicon ready, so are quite a few plug ins, most of the bigger companies are not yet, (NI, iZotope, PSP, Sound Toys, Arturia, Plugin Allience) but they will work with a slight CPU hit under Rosetta, or sometimes as an Audio Unit natively. The next couple batches should double that again, and the Apple Silicon based Mac Pro will probably skunk them all including multicore PCs. As you may know, Apple is starting to make it's own silicon, they have 4 lower end products out now with those chips in them, that are probably twice as fast as your 08 Pro. In typical fashion, there will be OS level features that will not work well, or maybe not at all on Intel Macs over the next 5 years. Mac OS will stop supporting Intel machines 5 years after the last batch is sold, which according to their own words will be next year. which have maybe 6 years before being obsolete, i.e. The current 2019 Mac Pros are running Intel chips.

This is always a loaded question, and even more so right now.
