All 480 are actually 8GB physically, but some are locked to being 4GB to sell them as 4GB cards, but they can be unlocked in BIOS or something

That is just standard and fine.
Simple thing is they most likely produce excess packaging of whatever box to save costs and just slap a sticker on after.
I work in logistics and generally at packing areas you get the individual components to put in a box to shop, generally speaking to save costs if you have a lot of products many companies simply use a box of a similar product and just put a label over the top.
Reason is often to match supply and demand as elsewise you'd have too much of one box.

Really makes my wife's son think

What's the point of selling them as 4GB models if they are cheap enough to be physically 8GB?

You have to offer a range of products to fit different budgets because some people will be fine with paying a great deal for very little return.
If you are going to sell something it is in your best interests to sell both inferior ones at a lower cost and slightly improved ones at a much greater cost. You'll just make more money that way. That might not be what's going on here, mind you.

Yeah I think that's it
Like, people who had a budget of $200 for their new card see the 8gb version with much more power for only 30 bucks more, so they go for it still
If there was only the 230 version they might have gone to the competition instead

To expand upon that is why upon release some R9 290's were actually 290x's with the extra shaders disabled via bios. People were unlocking them.
Note this was only for the first few batches as once yields improved the extra/defective shaders were laser cut to prevent people doing exactly this.

You better put a pic of a nerved jew looking at his electric bill.
All i see from AMD is power targets and performance per price, instead of something that could actually compete with the new from jewvidya.
last time I used an amd card it literally burned down the pc.

thats why i told him to use something different.
The AIB models are going to be actual 4 GB not just the gimped 8 GB cards right?
You'll only be able to do this with certain reference models?
