Has anyone seen a timeline of when Apple will end support for Intel based Macs? It’s inevitable we all know.

I do not see this happening anytime soon—the roll out according to Tim Cook is a projected over two year time period for Apple's Silicon SoC.

As fellow users without internal Apple product planning information, we cannot speculate about any timeline other than the original two-year window that Apple thought the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon products.

Operating systems regardless of hardware architecture would continue to be supported per Apple's current three-year sliding support window: current shipping operating system, and two previous annual upgrades. Apple would continue to honor any Intel-based hardware warranties for the customary twelve months or extended AppleCare+ warranties on that hardware.
