How do I determine if my 2023 MacBook Pro has Intel or Apple silicone?

I believe all MacBook Pros that are 2021 or newer are Apple Silicon. If you want to make sure, go to Settings, click General, then click About. If it is Apple Silicon, you will see “Chip” in the list; for Intel, you will see “Processor”.

The M2, and all other M-series Macs, are Apple Silicon. To check a different one, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.

Your tag line says that you have a MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023). The M2 Pro is a second-generation Apple Silicon chip. The Pro in the chip's name indicates that it is more powerful than a "plain" M2 chip, and less powerful than a M2 Max chip. (For instance, a 16" M2 Pro MBP can drive up to two external displays, while a 13" M2 MBP would be limited to one.)

Hi,

As far as I know, Intel and AppleSilicon MacBook Pro models are released in 2020 MacBook Pro.

You can see which model of your MacBook Pro at Apple Menu > About This Mac.

If you see Processor is M1, it's an Apple Silicon model, and if you see Intel Core i7, it's an Intel model.

FYI, the 12" Retina MacBooks released in 2015 – 2017 had Intel Core M processors. However when people refer to M-series processors today, they are almost always referring to Apple Silicon M-series processors.

The MacBook Neo has an Apple Silicon processor, but it is an A16 Pro one – a variant of an iPhone chip.

Since I was explaining which MacBook Pros are Apple Silicon, I should mention that some of the 2020 models are as well.

Thank you!
