Predictable given the history of GloFo although I didn't expect it so soon.

Polaris GPU Revisions with 50% Better Perf/Watt [WCC]
- Thread starter Skynet
- Start date
should be good news for Vega also could mean much higher clocks or overclocks
sounds like they are working the problems with GF out

Really hope this is the case or better...AMD has to prove themselves big time that they are serious and the clock speed upgrade should be significant enough to yield some significant advances.
Specially since they've been targeting $199.99 if they improve with revisions this year they can give nVidia a major challenge.
No.
They still have a better efficiency.
However its a huge step forward for amd though.
For Vega if this is true its really good news.

ironically, check out the jayz video in that thread
the xfx overclocked to 1475mhz drew an average of 133watts i believe and ~100watts at stock(mild factory oc)
whats the power usage on the 1060?
so wccftech might not be off on there guess

I'm not sure about that. I looked at TechPowerUp shows the 1060 drawing 116 watts on average. If the RX480 was around 120 that is right in that same ballpark. I'd say that's close enough to be pretty much a tie. Granted, the 1070 and 1080 offer better perf/watt, but that's not exactly a fair comparison since they are higher end (it seems like there is some loss of efficiency when scaling down these architectures).
That is, if the rumor is true.

That review by Jayz is the most convincing evidence that this rumor might be true. That card was drawing way lower than the other RX 480s, it ran way cooler and it overclocked better, and it was reflected in the scores. So, assuming the whole thing wasn't staged (which why would he do that since his rep is on the line), something seems to have changed.
ive always considered jayz a nvidia shill so i cant see it being staged for amd's benefit.
Only 300 pts in 3DMark? What does that equate to in real world usage .. ? 1 fps? 2? Looks like a typical thirdparty card beating the reference board.
I'd also like to see some more reviews. I'm not sold on this yet, at least not the revision that OP is talking about. That video .. 300 points .. seems standard for a thirdparty card with custom PCB. Certainly isn't the revision that OP is discussing.

Oops. I watched the video with no sound and didn't realize he had the wattages at the bottom. To be honest I wasn't aware MSI Afterburner could even read wattage like that 
.. or if it's accurate. Are there any tests done with a multimeter/wattmeter?
Where is the 1600+ points in overclock? Are these chips handling more voltage better than the other RX480s were?

The Firestrike before and after OC... He got 1475OC which is quite good on air
and still under 70C
