As @guardian10 has said, your model corresponds to the Early 2020 model.

2020 was when the switchover from Intel i3/i5/i7 processor to Apple M1 processor happened. The Early 2020 model still had an Intel chip, while the Late 2020 version now carries the M1 CPU.

So you've got an Intel chip in yours - not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

Full disclosure: I currently work for Intel.
