There aren't two types of RAM. The lower figure (2/3/4GB) is RAM. The 64/128/256GB is storage.
I don't think CC uses a lot of RAM actually. Not unless you have hundreds of thousands of books in your library.
For syncing books, I expect it's the storage speed that matters, not the amount of RAM.
Edit: Just a thought, I was only thinking of metadata.db (or quite likely JSON) in terms of RAM and that's pretty small even with thousands of books. Covers are another matter. I would expect CC is flushing that metadata to storage, though and not just keeping everything in RAM. A12 isn't just faster for general processing, it's also got faster storage compared to A8 so I expect transferring from RAM to storage would be quicker, too.
