How can you tell in System Information which secure enclave your computer has?

Never understood why there's no search function in System Information. Does anyone know where it would show what the Secure Enclave is, if there's a T1 chip or a T2 chip, or any other information about it?


Thanks very much.

Look under > (Option key) System Information>Hardware>USB> USB Device: Apple T2 Controller


or from Terminal, copy and paste:

ioreg -p IOUSB
