SUBJECTMacBook Air (2011)

Does the MacBook Air (2011) use Apple Silicon?

No. The 2011 MacBook Air uses an Intel processor (specifically a 2nd-generation Intel Core i5 or i7). Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.) was not introduced until late 2020. Therefore, the RAM is not unified memory; it is soldered DDR3 memory that cannot be upgraded.
