The sheer number of neurons isn't really the governing factor when it comes to individual differences in intelligence. What matters most is the complexity of neuron-to-neuron signaling (i.e., synaptic organization).

MRI scans, PET scans and other imaging studies show no dormant areas of the brain, and even viewing individual neurons or cells reveals no inactive areas. Metabolic studies of how brain cells process chemicals show no nonfunctioning areas. The entire brain runs at full tilt like the rest of the body.Like memory, human intelligence is probably not confined to a single area in the brain, but is instead the result of multiple brain areas working in concert.

That's probably the best idea you can get of dolphin intelligence.
