No. 384bit doesn't mean 6 or 12gb.
The biggest consequence of deviating from a power-of-two memory bus is that under normal situations you don't get an even memory amount like 8gb.
However, it's not the only way to get 8gb of memory whilst retaining a 384bit memory bus...
You see, you don't usually have a single memory controller in devices like consoles and PC's, but multiple.
So say if Microsoft dropped in 3 memory controllers, 2 memory controllers could be talking to 2x 1Gb chips each, whilst the 3rd memory controller could be talking to 2x 2gb chips. - Aka. They end up with 8gb of memory on a 384bit bus.
Of course each memory controller would be 128bit (64bit x2.) for a total of 384bit.
