Go to the Apple logo at the top left. Choose About This Mac. The CPU type is the first thing listed.

That Mac has an Intel Xeon workstation chip, not a M1 chip or any other flavor of Apple Silicon chip.


Re: “It says: 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5”


CPU benchmark scores: 743 and 2596. A plain M1 Mac mini has scores of 2348 and 8382. A plain M4 Mac mini has scores of 3747 and 14467.
