The features requiring a Mac with an M1 chip include headline items such as Portrait Mode, Live Text in photos, and improvements to maps such as a 3D globe of the Earth and more detailed maps in major cities. Other macOS Monterey features that will not work without Apple silicon are the expansion of text-to-speech to more languages, and on-device and unlimited keyboard dictation. Interestingly, MacWorld reported that a new Mac Pro containing Intel processors is set to be released next year.
