I would say yes, otherwise what's even the freaking point of making a Pro model.

People who own a 4080 or better are like 0.5% of the market.

It is going to be on a XBox Series S presumably at 30 fps, so we know it can scale down to a 4 teraflop machine. 

Personally, I think Pro models are a waste for current owners.  Performance is about balance, especially with GPU and CPU.  As someone who bought a ps4 Pro I was disappointed with the performance gain.  Pumping up one aspect while keeping the other flat just creates a bottleneck.  I could be wrong, been a while, but I think the ps4 Pro cranked the CPU but memory bandwidth barely moved.  The difference between the two was meh.  The ps4 pro was the only piece of hardware I bought that I regretted.    

edit

the ps4 versus pro also demonstrates how worthless teraflops are.  Massive teraflop increase, but visual output didn't look much different.  Given it was largely the same chipsets, just overclocked a bit.  

The PS4 Pro had a big GPU power increase while the CPU was only slightly better. Games on the Pro often had higher visual settings but a lot of the visual improvement was from increasing resolution so if something was say 1080p on the base PS4 it could be a significantly higher resolution upscaled to 4K on the Pro. The rumours point to a much smaller rasterisation improvement this time around but a big improvement in ray tracing which if true means the benefits per game will mostly come down to how hard a game pushes ray tracing.
