AMD has now made its 2021 line of Ryzen PRO mobile processors official. The OEM claims they build on the considerable leap in productivity-focused performance made by their 4000-series predecessors. This includes gains of up to 65% over the Intel Core i7-1185G7 in certain benchmarks, as well as reduced app-opening latency and improved performance in some MS Office tasks.

As a "PRO" here is what matters to me and remains unclear from the press release:

- Did AMD upgrade the Vega iGPU VCN to 3.x, therefore supporting AV-1 hardware decoding? Have they improved the hardware encoders to be saner for video conferencing softwares (rather than just boasting about very impressive but useless in the real-world feats such as 8x 8K h265 hardware decoding and such)? It cannot be a "PRO" product if it fails to acknowledge the needs and importance of videoconferencing, especially in these times.

- Does it finally have proper connectivity with USB 4 support built-in? You should not call this a "PRO" product if you do not support fully the professional docking solutions. Can it finally drive two 4K@60hz displays, or is that still Intel-only?

In these respects, it's no different to other 5000 series Ryzens. PRO refers to management features, perhaps some extra security, that sort of thing. Essentially a counterpart to Intel's vPro. It's not really aimed at professionals as such as much as at corporations.

I agree but at least you can get a better hardware encoder+decoder by combining AMD processors with Nvidia RTX 30 Series GPUs. No Thunderbolt 3, USB4/Thunderbolt 4, or at least USB 3.x Gen2x2 is inexcusable though.
