2017 MBP with Radeon Pro 455/460?

Question

2017 MBP with Radeon Pro 455/460?

HT202823: Computers with OpenCL/OpenGL

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) -> Radeon Pro 455 2GB VRAM and Radeon Pro 460 4GB VRAM.

As far as I can tell 455/460s were not available on 2017 models, is the information in the table incorrect (a.k.a should the 2017 MBP 15 inch call out Radeon Pro 555/560)? Do Radeon Pro 555 & 560 support OpenCL/OpenGL?

If this was an available configuration, does anyone know the configuration code?

Thanks

the Late 2016 models with GPU option had AMD 450 (2GB DDR5) or optional 455's (4GB DDR5)

the 2017 had the 555 or optional 560 (2/4GB DDR5 respectively)

the AMD 560 GPU's support OpenCL/OpenGL, both of which are old technology so I would hope the 455 would too, but OpenGL is a Microsoft API delivery and the computer would have to be running an OpenGL Windows application. Mac uses OpenCL it's a different set of instructions, the two are not exclusive to one another.
