AMIBIOS 8 is believed to be the final product for AMIBIOS 07.00.xx, due to 07.00.xx not being widely used (suggesting it was likely a limited public pre-release version) and many similarities between both versions. AMIBIOS 07.00.xx is believed to be a family of public pre-release versions of what later became AMIBIOS 8 (except for 07.00.10, which is actually believed to be based on the older AMIBIOS 6 codebase).
AMIBIOS 8 originally could've been planned to be named AMIBIOS 7, however as the AMIBIOS 7 name was given to AMIBIOS 07.00.10, it could've then have been renamed to AMIBIOS 8.
