"With Intel buying chips from AMD, it stands to reason they could be buying more than one configuration, depending on how Intel wanted to arrange the product stack. Intel could pair a smaller 10 CU design with a dual core, and a bigger 20+ CU design with a quad-core mobile processor. A couple of benchmark sources seem to believe that there is at least two configurations in Polaris-like configurations, with up to 24 CUs in the high-end model."

24 CU's = 1536 Core's.

For compairison with The RX 400 Mobile series, m470x is 896 cores.

AMD Polaris 11 supposedly has 1024 cores (streamprocessors) and does ~2 Tflop of gpu compute.

If I had stock in Nvidia this would worry me.

Nvidoomed?.

I don't think it's going to be anything that will revolutionise the world, especially when the deal is for laptops.
