The 290 series supply is drying up. And the 390 series had some tweeks as well at 5GHz memory.
To quote the review, "the 390 is just a rebadge of the 290" is a bit misleading as there is twice the memory and a 25% boost in memory clock rate.
So HardOCP is reviewing a <mostly or soon to be> dead product. Then they implied the 390 won't do better.
Just a poor choice of reviews and wording.
The only "tweak" is an overclocked core. 5ghz is normal memory speed for a 290X, The 390X is the same damned card and AMD is keeping it around a while so your conclusion is the only thing "dead" wrong. It seems like you may need to brush up on your understanding of the 290/390 tech specs.
