Like it or not, Apple isn't going to sell M1 or subsequent processors separately. And a lot of people in the world will not pay a premium for an Apple laptop.
The short term threat to Intel is from AMD.
The long term threat is proliferation of 5nm tech and design lapses from Intel side.
Apple is not a competition to Intel, atleast directly.
Macs will never be a mass market product, unless Apple slashes prices. But that is not going to happen.
What will happen is Intel will pull through, for another decade or so, with mediocre but cheap processors, supplying mass market volumes, with AMD being a tough competitor.
