Nope, I'm saying they needed to market an old game to a new audience so they had to do something to enhance it. The easiest way to accomplish the task is to simply throw more shit on screen because of the PS360 RAM limits. Then they can throw around PR speak. It's not dishonest, but it's not evidence of power...it's evidence of RAM. 

RAM is a component of a console's power. And RAM alone doesn't explain all the enhancements made. The GPU still needs to draw all the extra effects, higher fps, higher screen resolution, etc.

No it isn't, it's a memory component. That's like saying the battery in your car is a component of the power of its engine.

What enhancements? The OP says it runs at the same fps with lower resolution textures...

Inaccurate analogy. RAM allows consoles to do more than if they had less of it, which is what "power" means. The ability to do more.

I'm not talking about Splinter Cell. Trine 2 and Need for Speed, the ones confirmed to beyond PS360 capacity, made use of GPU enhancements over their 7th gen equivalents as well as RAM enhancements.
