Apple was pretty fast to stop support on PowerPC Macs, but even then I
think it was 7?

Let's see, Tiger came out in Jan 2006 with support for Intel Mac and
10.7 dropped Intel macs in July 2011, so 5 years?

I suspect something like that, though I would not be surprised to see a
much more pronounced bifurcation in the OS between AS and Intel with the
AS machines getting a lot more features and capabilities just because
they have processing power to burn.
