These are screen caps from the GPU 2014 Tech Day Event that occured on 9/25/2013
You can view the livestream here even though the event is over. This is where I got the screencaps I will show below
Everything I post in this post is known information.
AMD radeon is doing a new naming scheme
R9 is for Enthusiast (aka customers who want the best performance)
R7 is for Performance (aka cost conscious customers)
This is the only indication we got of the r9 290x performance. The graph makes the card look like it is getting almost/near 8000 in fire strike or at least in the higher 7000 numbers.
Runs on bus power (thus the card power consumption is less than 75w)
Runs on 1x6 pin (thus the card power consumption is less than 150w)
Runs on 2x6 pin (thus the card power consumption is less than 225w)
Runs on 1x8 and 1x6 pin (thus the card power consumption is less than 300w)
Recap
R7 250, Firestrike >2000, <75w power consumption
R7 260X, Firestrike >3700, <150w power consumption
R9 270X, Firestrike >5500, <225w power consumption
R9 280X, Firestrike >6800, <300w power consumption
R9 290X, Firestrike almost 8000
