yes on PDK, even my 09 C4S i used to own did it
On the manual they introduced it on the 2013 C4 and C4S and mid 2013 in the C2S with sports chrono (i think manual with chrono prod after june got the downshift blip option)

It would be pretty damn hard to build a PDK-like gearbox that didn't match revs. If you tried, you would end up with a terrible POS of a transmission...

I drove a V8 M3 around Germany - a bit - in May with the final generation of SMG. It was not as all-'round craptastic as the current generation DSG.
But, no, the DSG doesn't really even try to rev-match on down-shifts. You have to lead it with the throttle a bit to get a smooth, non-clutch dragging down-shift.
The PDK's programming (as part of the overall ECU collection of embedded software) is one of the joys of (modern) Porsche ownership. It operates as if it was programmed and it's parameters tuned by someone that actually a) had driven a car before and didn't take a bus to work every day, b) knew what proper rev-matched shifts should feel like and c) gave a $h1+ about the final result.

i have several pdk cars...ranging from 09 initial year to present
they all blip to rev match
its fundamental to the design...but the pdk-s does it much faster than the earlier ones

You have to have throttle control when driving an SMG car since it's a single clutch. Blipping the throttle when you shift just becomes something that you do when driving the car. Honestly it's pretty enjoyable, but you have to be focused on driving the car and not other things. Drivetrain awareness is absolutely needed.

and sport is annoyingly pedestrian (but economical) for a 911 IMO.
