RAW files are typically either 12-bit or 14-bit, depending on the camera, as far as I know.
On the topic of RAW's dynamic range: I dunno.. everything I've read so far says that RAW files have a much higher dynamic range than JPEG files and you can pull multiple exposures from them. RAW format is storing much more than the eye can see, obviously.
