What does "commercial market" mean here? The article says these features were already available in the "consumer" versions of these chips -- were those given away for free or something? What about them was not "commercial"?

I'm sure there's some market segmentation thing at work here, but this just sounds like a Hallmark-holiday excuse to rehash an old press-release and pretend it's another revolution all over again.

You can't buy these pro variants from Microcenter for example, but you can buy them from pre-built OEM desktops. Mostly meant for enterprise customers who buy in bulk, I think.

Actually, the article says they were not available:

  the Pro series is based on AMD's existing consumer-oriented processor models but comes with additional features
Pro (enterprise) CPUs include remote management, memory encryption and other security features: https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-pro
