# Do I have Apple Silicon or Intel?

If you're using a Mac and you're not sure whether it's an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac, you can check by clicking on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen, then selecting "About This Mac." In the window that pops up, it will tell you which type of processor your Mac has.
If you bought your Mac recently (after 2020), it's more likely to be an Apple Silicon Mac. If it's an older model, it's probably an Intel Mac.

The difference is:
An Intel Mac is a type of computer made by Apple that uses processors (the brain of the computer) made by Intel, a company that specializes in making computer components. An Apple Silicon Mac is also a computer made by Apple, but it uses processors designed and developed by Apple itself, known as Apple Silicon chips.
