Yeah, it looks the only reason for the 8Gb is so it run a 64-bit OS to map all 8Gb into address space of a single process, but that is not fully baked. Also, it looks like they had a limitation previously due to a lack of an 8GB LPDDR4 package.
With the 64-Bit Os, there are some graphic changes though:

Known issues
1) There is no hardware video acceleration in VLC or Chromium
2) libraspberrypi0, libraspberrypi-dev and libraspberrypi-doc have been moved out of /opt/vc/* and into /usr/* instead (making it more standard). Any code built against these libraries will require changing to refer to a more standard location (/usr/lib/ rather than /opt/vc/lib)
3) Due to 2) Many packages that expect libGLESv2.so libEGL etc will require rebuilding
I can wait.
