Is AMD Radeon Pro 5500M no good for Premiere Pro?

After doing research on what the best Macbook Pro is for Premiere Pro in quite a few pages this one came up:

 
Model: MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 (MVVK2B/A)
Processor: 2.30 GHz Intel Core i9 9th Gen
Memory: 16GB or 32GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon pro 5500M 4GB
 
I am surprised I don't see the AMD Radeon pro 5500M 4GB graphics as supported on your website, is this correct? I am very confused as to why this graphic card would be unsupported when just over a year ago it was recommended as one of the best for video editing.
 
I have encountered many issues with rendering taking days for some projects with my current computer MacBook Pro - Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015 8GB RAM and Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB. This graphics card comes up as recommended in Adobe website so once I'm again I'm confused why an hour long project would take me 5 days straight of rendering and exporting?!?! And this with a "recomended" graphic card.
 
I am looking into getting a new Mac so want to make sure I buy the right one. I don't understand how a 2019 Mac with such good specs now has unsupported graphics for Adobe.
 
Can someone please clarify all this for me? Thank you in advance for your help.

      >Hopefully I hear back from Adobe

       

      As far as I know... based on past forum messages... any Adobe employee who reads the forum does NOT do so as an official part of their job, so don't hold your breath while waiting for an Adobe employee to read this and make a reply

      That is a dissapointing because an Adobe support team member is the one who's directed me here from our online chat to seek for advise...!

      Thanks John. I hope that is the case and that it's a good graphic card. Hopefully I hear back from Adobe on this to confirm.

      Adobe must buy and use any individual component to certify it for use... I will GUESS (I don't work for Adobe) that there are simply too many hardware components for Adobe to buy and test them all
