This is the first I've heard of that "feature" as well.  That's a whole lot of freed up RAM.

I can only imagine they've got texture streaming working.  It's the only thing I can think of that would be "feature" like and could free up that much texture RAM.

But wouldn't that be a software feature rather than a hardware one? (honest question, I have no clue)

Both.   Software handles the actual streaming but it requires hardware capable of it...or rather, fast enough to handle it.
