Yup. As usual, John Gruber has a good take on this:

"If your priority is the display, the new displays are brighter (500
nits) and offer wide color gamut. The new MacBook Pro SSDs offer
industry-leading read and write performance, years ahead of the
competition. The 15-inch MacBook Pro offers a quad-core i7 with speeds
up to 3.8 GHz. For many demanding use cases, these are professional
machines. Just not all professions."
