about this mac info incorrect

I have a NEW 2015 MB Pro and I ordered a CTO with the AMD graphics, so I opened the "About this mac" page and it showed that it's an Intel Iris Pro GPU. A bit disappointed I called the retailer and they told me to check under the system report and there it was an AMD GPU, so why would apple not show the AMD on the About this mac page if it does have an AMD GPU ??

Esquared has it correct, it will show the processor in use at the time you check the About this Mac.


The system automatically switches between graphics systems based on use (when applications use OpenGL, Core Graphics or other graphically demanding technologies, the system will use the dedicated graphics card, otherwise it will use Intel HD Graphics to conserve battery life).
