MacBook Pro is a graphics card necessary for future versions of Lightroom and Photoshop

I have asked in this group and others but I can't seem to get a concise and accurate answer.

 

I'll try to be clearer. 

I'm about to purchase a 13" MacBook Pro with embedded graphics. I believe future versions of Lr  and Ps will fully utilise a graphics card.

 

My question is this - Will I be ok with the 13" with embedded graphics or should I consider the 16" MacBook with a dedicated graphics card? 
i have a preference for the 13" because it's more portable for travel. 
thank you for your assistance! 
Kind Regards

Define "OK'. Yes, Lightroom and Photoshop work perfectly well on a MacBook Pro 13" and there is no reason to assume that this will change with future versions. But of course a MacBook Pro 16" with dedicated GPU will be faster.
