Apple Silicon and Intel refer to the CPUs A CPU does not really have any compatibility with another CPU.
If you mean compatibility with software meant for Intel Macs, then Apple made Rosetta 2 which translates software meant or Intel CPUs so it can run on Apple Silicon. Most 64 Bit intel software can be run using Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon.
