I'm seeing some optimistic speculation here, and as somewhat of an AMD fan I hope that it pans out. Because as of right now, the rumors aren't looking good.
390/390X performance means -10% to +20% performance compared to a GTX 970, depending on the game.
Up to 150W means same power draw as a GTX 1070, and 5W more than a reference-specced GTX 970
$299 means $30 cheaper than a GTX 970 (MSRP)
Essentially, we'd be getting a slightly faster, slightly cheaper, 2-year old Nvidia card. These rumors need to be wrong, or AMD will be failing hard.
It's AMD. I have not been excited to see an AMD product since the original 7970. I'm expecting a flop, but hoping for a home-run.
