I think these latest devoper units come with 8G of gddr5 ram. Usually developer units ship with double the ram than in the end product. This is consistent with the 4G ram rumour in other places. The "2.2G video ram" is obviously the space software reserved as available for the gpu within those 8gigs in the developer units.
Also note that that it's not 8 cores, it's 4 Bulldozer modules. Each module shares an fpu (the reason why Bulldozer performs "poorly" against similar Intel counterparts whose cores have dedicated fpus).
