I don't think the Pro will see a whole lot of 4K assets. 4K assets need more memory. Pro only has 9GB total RAM compaired to 12GB on the XOX. XOX has both more, and faster RAM than the Pro.

To both of you. I am also very interested to see how XOX stacks up to PC. That is the end goal. I would love to have the option of a console, on par or better than the best single CPU/GPU PC. The XOX won't achieve it, but I am interested to see how close it is. 

The Pro will continue to see games with 4K assets. In its case, it's not just about a limitation of RAM, but how devs choose to use it. Remember what the PS3 pulled off with split (256/256MB) of RAM. * Just as an example, this isn't the rule *

Yes, the X1X will be better at it, but the Pro is going to be optimized enough to pull it off.

I have not seen any evidence of any game using 4K assets for the PS4 pro.  I thought one of the limiting factors were ram and the speed of the ram.
