Been saying for months that 480 wouldnt beat 980ti neither 390X on average.
Now we know that wont beat the 980ti, lets see if I was right on the 390X
The unhype train wants 150W typical board power, 390 performance, less than 10% overclock: mostly a mediocre Hawaii die shrink on a weak 14nm process from GF. Looking at the hype train from this perspective, it does seem supersonic.

Silverforce, do you have a link to the leaker?
He went offline really fast, got issued a message on his phone, told to stop leaking NDA info.
So far, can only confirm a few things:
1. New Crimson indeed has expanded OC tools & custom profiles.
2. RX 480 is very quiet on load.
At least we know Wccftech is actually correct with their recent leak about AMD's new OC support in Crimson.
apparently not getting on the hype train = getting on the hate train why are people so sure?

Uhm, 390X and 480 are both ~5.8 TFlops. So how could it ever be slower? Given GCN4 improvements it can only be faster.
Where are you getting the 5.8 TFlops figure from? AMD has shown slides with 5.5+ TFLOPS but nothing more as far as I know.
Multiple leaks have said 1266 MHz. So, 5.8 TF is most likely.Where are you getting the 5.8 TFlops figure from? AMD has shown slides with 5.5+ TFLOPS but nothing more as far as I know.
So far, easily AMD's best reference blower by far. Quiet & cool. Very NV "Premium"-like cooler design.
While some of us have expected it, I can confirm (from my buddies in PC retail) that Fiji SKUs like Fury/X are discontinued.
In terms of Polaris 10, it's a mainstream chip, 232mm2, low power. GP104 is a traditional mid-range chip in size & power.
3-4 months to vega, make sense.
Hearing about the cooler being efficient and premium like makes me wonder if u should just order one on launch as much as I want an AIB model. But we don't know when those will come.
Yup makes sense I wish they would just allow reviews sooner.Wait and see how they handle in the reviews before deciding obviously. If they really are cool and quiet, I could care less about looks, might pick up one.
Would probably be 250-260mm² in TSCM's process, that's already ~80% of GP104's die size. If it only matches Radeon R9 390X, it's nowhere near 80% GP104's performance.

Latest rumour to feed the hype train is....
NDA to lift on the 24th.
I don't really get all these claims of the hype being in overdrive.
Right now the rumours seem to be solidifying around 390X performance at stock, 110W power usage in games and decent overclocking (20-25% to 1500-1600 MHz from 1266 MHz stock).
All of this is about as modest as you can get. With 2304 and a 1266 MHz clock (5.833 TFLOPS) and zero architectural improvements, performance should be equal to a 390X (2816 shaders at 1050 MHz, 5.913 TFLOPS). 110W power usage puts it at about 90% the efficiency of GP104 (RX 480 would have 60% the performance of GP104, with 66% of the power usage). 20-25% overclocking is decent but not amazing (certainly not GM200 level, which could do 30-35%).

Looks like the new cards are forcing some price cuts for current models. You can already buy a custom (factory overclocked) Geforce GTX 970 for less than Radeon RX 480 8GB MSRP in China.
I also can tell you that this is false. Remains 29th.
