Alright, so turns out they actually quietly downgraded it.

Because if you look here from less than a month and a half ago, at the bottom when they list all the parts, it has 12GB of RAM+2 kinds of storage. Furthermore, there was a part list taken from the Chinese net where Pimax submitted the Crystal to get approved over there, pic related and apologize for the low res the full image 404'd so I had to settle for a preview of it. But to save you sifting through some gook speak, the part number was 2130P, which has LPDDR5 RAM, and 12GB of LPDDR5 is the same configuration that the Quest Pro has for its XR2. While the Quest 2 only has 6GB of LPDDR4X. Check that yourself if you want, I've spoonfed enough.

But checking now, it can be seen that it's only 8GB of RAM+256GB. Which is still more than the Quest 2 and configurations do exist which have 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM. 

So, we're both wrong, unless Pimax is lying through their teeth. It's not the exact same chip as the Quest 2, some extra RAM that's also a fair bit quicker. But it's not the configuration I thought it was either.
