If Apple moves to a full ARM line-up, they will need to copy AMD's chiplet strategy.
As Apple understands economies of scale, they will need an architecture that will enable them to cheaply mass-produce millions of chiplets to combine them into low, medium and high-end cpus to suit their different use-cases.
Just like AMD is doing now.
There is no way Apple can create a monolithic Mac Pro-level cpu at low volume for a profit.
It might be easier to just go AMD with the whole Mac line-up. Requires only a little adaptation on OS level and will give users less nuisance trying to run their old apps.
In addition, they will gain performant GPUs as a bonus.
