npub1m63p3fsz7rag0zk5c4jd30nldpcud8tp4ppgqheyz538ehvsejjsgnya47 (npub1m63…ya47) M-series Macs don't have AMD or NVidia GPUs at all—it's all Apple proprietary stuff (baked into the ARM-based M-series chipset).
Apple began transitioning from Intel to ARM (M-series) across their range in 2020 and just end-of-lifed their last Intel machines this year. So they'll probably stop supporting the old architecture completely by 2027.
Useful tip: a free app called MacTracker (in Mac or iOS app store) gives you dates and specs on every computing device Apple has ever sold.
