Er, shouldn't I be able to look this up from the CPU model number without buying it?
Also, are you sure you're not confusing
CPU
-embedded TPMs with other TPMs in the system?

It's up to your firmware to enable any CPU or chipset provided TPM implementation. The CPU supporting it is unhelpful unless the firmware provides a mechanism to turn it on.

But my question wasn't "how do I check if the embedded TPM is being used?", it was "how do I check if an embedded TPM even exists?"

It exists in everything x86 made since around 2014. Whether it exists usefully is up to your firmware.
