Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
My Intel 2015 MacBook Air tells me an update is available but when using Software Update I get a message that my computer is up to date with Mac OS 12.4. Is the Mac OS 12.5 update only available for M1 Macs?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4
NO.
Any Apple Computer that qualifies to run Monterey 12.4 Qualifies to run Monterey 12.5
There are factors:
1 - Like poor Wifi connection
2 - Slow wifi connection
3 - Too many other people downloading at the same time and Apple Severs are overloaded
4 - Software on the computer interfering with the download process including AntiVirus Software
Notation: Disabling the AV Software may or may not solve the issue. Removal of the AV Software may increase the chances of the download to perform as expected.
5 - Running behind a VPN which may increase Packet losses or corruption of the download
6 - If via wifi too many Other devices using the wifi at the same time reducing the Bandwidth to your computer.
7 - Best Results are via Ethernet Cable to Router
8 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
And try again via the Software Update Applet in System Preferences

You are welcome and thank you too 🇨🇦
Do come back to the Apple Support Communities ( ASC ) in the future, if / or when additional questions may arise
Thanks, P. Phillips, for your help. Starting in Safe Mode did the trick. All went well after that and I am now running Mac OS 12.5.
