The story just broke a couple of days ago so since I haven't read any papers on it (don't know if any have been published) I know what you know. No one is sure what the cladistic relationships are but it seems likely to be an H. erectus offshoot rather than from something earlier (like an Australopithecine or even something more ape-like). It's brain case only had about one quarter the capacity of ours.
So we can be confident that W. is almost as smart as these hominids would have been.
