Performance: Mac vs PC

Question

Question for you all.I am a tech at my firm and we have recently hired a video editor who will be working in Premier Pro. This individual is currently using a newer Mac book Pro with an AMD Radeon Pro 560 GPU, 32GB RAM and an i7 intel processor. When looking at the recommended GPU's here<https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html> the AMD RP 560 is listed. With that being said, this user is having slow rendering times when editing video's. This individual is mostly doing work in 1080p but occasionally in 4k. I did a bit a reading and found that Premier Pro is better suited when using Windows CUDA GPU's.For all you video editors, I am wondering your opinion here. Do you prefer to use Mac or PC? What Hardware configuration do you recommend?

If by rendering you actually mean exporting to a new file, the GPU is used very little

CUDA, OpenCL, Mercury Playback Engine, and Adobe Premiere Pro | Adobe Blog

If by rendering you mean processing the timeline to create the temporary files that allow for easier playback, CUDA is used
