Contrary to the table in this article, the AMD website shows the PRO 8000s as having half as many graphics core compute units as the non-PRO versions: https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/ryzen-f... Which is pretty disappointing from AMD, apparently if you want both good iGPU performance and ECC support (only available in the PRO versions according to the specs) then you're out of luck.
You were right, checking that page again months later I see AMD have updated the page to show PRO models having the same Graphics Core Count as the corresponding non-PRO . A confusion between RDNA Work Group Processors vs Compute Units does seem a likely explanation, but I'm surprised that apparently someone writing their website didn't have the overall marketing/segmentation strategy ("PRO SKUs are just the same as the usual ones but with the enterprise features enabled") explained to them and had to try to work it out (wrongly) themselves.

Seems a bit weird that they'd cut down every model to exactly half. Isn't this just some WGP/CU confusion?Slogby - Sunday, April 21, 2024 - link
Check the AMD page I linked, the table lists both PRO and non-PRO versions, with PROs having half the "Graphics Core Count".Dolda2000 - Monday, April 22, 2024 - link
Yes, I know, but I'm sure AMD marketing can make such mistakes as well.Slogby - Sunday, June 16, 2024 - link

It's the currently hyped scam.I guess they started to realize people were realizing the truth about quantum computers.
