Is Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB the same as AMD Radeon Pro 5500M

I just purchased a Late 2019 Macbook Pro from best buy and I am wondering if the Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB is the same as AMD Radeon Pro 5500M graphics card? I just recently updated this Macbook from my Macbook Air so that I can edit 4k videos and do some editing in Photoshop and After Effects. I chose this laptop bc the reviews said that it was good for editing and my Air just doesn't do the trick neither did the M1 24 inch that I originally purchased bc I didn't have enough RAM (8gb). I don't understand much about graphics cards so I just trying to ensure I didn't make a mistake.

No. The Intel UHD 630 is older and less powerful than the Radeon Pro 5500M.


In general the Intel one is a much weaker card:

But none of the 2019 MacBook Pro models have the Intel UHD 630 card. The higher end 15" and 16" Macs have a Radeon model and the 13" has an Intel Iris also much weaker than the Radeons.
