Ironically, it’s the other way around, since Apple has to share their RAM between GPU and CPU, where other computers typically have them separately.

So in normal usage with 8 GB, you’re automatically down to 7, since at least 1GB would be taken by the graphics card. More if you’re doing anything reasonably graphics-heavy with it.
