^If that leak is true, and I think it is given that it falls in line with previous rumors we've had, that would put the RX 480 at the same level of performance of the R9 390X.

That wouldn't be too bad by itself, it's AMD's second best class after all, but the problem is that rumors say that Nvidia's upcoming GTX 1060 will offer that same level of performance too (this is the rumor: http://videocardz.com/60666/inno3d-teases-geforce-gtx-1060), and that would put AMD in a really bad position.

Oh, well. I hope their Zen processors do perform as expected.

Let's not forget the Geforce 1080.
Polaris 10 is expected to chew on 150w of power. That's as much as the Geforce 1070 and only 30w~ less than the Geforce 1080... Both geforce chips should be faster.

AMD reclaiming performance/watt isn't happening with Polaris.

The RX 480 is an "up to" 150W card, at least the 4GB card, with most leaks suggesting that it would use something more like 120-130W.

But that's not that important, is it? What's really important is that Polaris is a huge improvement over previous GCN chips, and that now even the reference cooler might be a valid option.

Zen- 40% more IPC performance, 8 cores, 16 threads. Samples going out to first partners soon, more partners in the 3rd quarter.

Eh. 40% more than what though? Excavator? Piledriver? Stars? Still not enough to match Intel unfortunately, might be sufficient to regain some Mainstream marketshare though.

It's 40% more than Bulldozer.

 

By the way, the clock speed of the RX 480 has been confirmed at 1,266 MHz by a screenshot captured by TechPowerUp

Also, for a thread about Polais, I find the lack of pictures of the card a bit disappointing.

Notice how the reference board seems to be rather small. I'd say that some third party cards will come close to the size of the R9 Nano.
