Isn't the RAM inside the GPU?

That depends. The most reasonable and cost-effiecient way to boost PS4 would be to add a 2nd exact duplicate of the PS4 GPU, allowing it to run in crossfire with the current GPU, and the PS4 GPOU lacks dedictaed RAM, it uses a shared pool of RAM with the rest of the system. 

However, it's possible they could add even more powerful GPU that has dedicated RAM, and run it in asynchronous compute with the original GPU, but not all games support asynchronous compute yet, in fact very few support that feature so far. 

Oh yeah, I remember sony boasting of the the unified RAM earlier.
