It's eight ports per Sasquatch, the ASIC that connects to the
stacking ring (which *is* the backplane, even if there's only
one switch). The ring is a dual-rotating 16 Gbps thing, so, as
far as I can see, more like 16 Gbps full duplex than 32 Gbps.

I'd be surprised to see it do 24 ports at wire rate.

... But that's not what it's positioned for, of cause. If you
want that kind of performance, go with the 4948G: 48 ports at
wire rate, 4 us latency, 100 Mpps. They kick ass.
