Base storage iPad Pros with an advertised 8GB of RAM appear to be using 12GB modules

Several people have already torn down the new iPad Pro models and photographed their M4 chips and the RAM alongside them. Most teardown I could find were of the 256GB model, but one website (TechInsights) did the 1TB model as well. The one 1TB teardown I could find showed 2 RAM chips alongside...

These are 64 gigabit (8 gigabyte) chips, as expected, confirming the 16GB of RAM mentioned on Apple's tech specs page. Looking at the teardowns of lower capacity models, all the pictures I saw (UFD Tech, JerryRigEverything, iFixit) showed 2 chips labeled Z8DMS instead. I agree that Apple uses custom RAM packages, but it doesn't explain why Micron would then list the part number on their website.
