Well, with the launch of the 6500XT with a grand total of 16 CU's, we have a pretty good idea where 12 CU's would land. I'm cautiously optimistic; the 6500XT is gimped with a small memory bus, 4 PCIE lanes, and only 4GB of Ram. In spite of this, when the card isn't running into bottlenecks, it beats the 1060 6GB, 1650 Super, and RX 580.The Steam Deck with 8 CU's will be functioning on 16GB of quad channel LPDDR5 ram @ 5500 MT/s. The larger pool of memory and being on the same die as the CPU removes 2 of the bottlenecks mentioned above. The only question is if quad channel LPDDR5 is fast enough to feed the GPU.The Ryzen 6000 APU's are laptop exclusive for now. The best chance to see them at their maximum potential is in something like a Minisforum Deskmini. On a board running 2 full sized DDR5 @ +6200 MT/s, it could be something amazing.
