The Radeon RX Vega M GH packs 24 Compute Units (CUs) for a total of 1536 Stream Processors while the Radeon RX Vega M GL has 20 CUs or 1280 Stream Processors.

Both SKUs share the rest of the specifications including support for up to 32GB of DDR4-2400 SODIMM memory in two slots, two M.2 22x42/80 key M slots for SATA 3 or PCIe x4 NVMe SSDs, two Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps ports, USB 3.1 Gen2 10Gbps and DisplayPort 1.2 via USB-C, front and rear HDMI 2.0 for VR headsets, dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet, integrated 802.11Ac 8265 Intel WiFi with Bluetooth 4.2, 7.1-channel audio, quad beam-forming mic array, IR port and more.
