Watch below.
You were quoting my comment on 4K.
The video basically shows what PS4 Pro automatically does, boost most for better frame rates and quicker loading.
Sorry Nick-kun, but you're wrong.
PS4 Pro boost mode works in one way and one way only. It unlocks the 1.3x faster CPU on the Pro for non patched games. Any loading benefits are a direct result of the loading being someway CPU bound or the marginally faster HDD in the PS4 Pro.
Here's a nice graph which illustrates how much more effort Microsoft are putting in:
Blue bars are performance on Xbox One.
Red bars are performance on Xbox One X, with no changes made at all.
Green bars are the performance of the game on Xbox One, with no real work done by the developer, but the source code recompiled in the new SDK.
So they've put in a huge amount of work to make getting the most out of the console as easy as possible for the dev. Literally just recompile your code.
Likewise, the One X has more RAM than the original Xbox One (where as the Pro and PS4 standard have the same amount). Again, MS have put in the work to enable games to use that RAM as a cache to make things load faster:
