vPro isn't a CPU, it's a particular combination of CPU, PCH (southbridge), Intel NIC/WiFi, and AMT firmware. There's no evidence that Macs have AMT or vPro.

Well, Intel does a particularly bad job of explaining whether this exists. My MBP CPU is a Core(TM) i7-4850HQ, and Intel's ark site says it has vPro.
You're right about that. Intel's product lineup is a huge mishmash of optional features that no one understands and now it's going to bite them. (But not really, because what else are you going to buy? A Ryzen laptop?)
