Sounds like either RDNA is more scalable than GCN or then Samsung bought this for slightly larger devices like tablets, set-top boxes and all-in-one desktops.
The reason why I'm being this negative is because AMD had a mobile GPU division based in Finland, originally called BitBoys and founded by members of the Future Crew demoscene group, that they bought in 2006 only to sell it to Qualcomm in 2009 after their then CEO stated he thought mobile is a dead end. This is incidentally why the name of Qualcomm's "Adreno" graphics is just "Radeon" with the letters scrambled.

From what I read, RDNA is different from GCN, and first generation of Navi is a hybrid combination of both. Second generation of Navi will be just RDNA. I suppose it's good for mobile GPUs as well (and Samsung will be using just RDNA design).
