I dont give much for WCCftech but it would fit the same release time that they had with the 300 series. If the 480 is around 200-220 pounds then it doesnt look that bad

Vega is suspected early 2017 based on AMD slides. There were rumours of an October Vega appearance.
Cant see them selling many at that price!
A mid range part that performs at the level of fury pro with more VRAM for 300 quid and you don't think they would sell?
I doubt AMD are going to leave Nvidia to the market with the 1070 for a month.
Polaris 10XT should definitely be competing with the 1070.
If it's a 480 then it will be £200 or less.

Me neither.

If we go by past experience then 480 should cost ~£200 but if they give Fury performance then expect maybe £240 as a price point with the 390X equivalent being £200 or less. At these prices they will still offer excellent price performance considering GTX970 is still around £230.
In fact if they offered Fury performance at that price point I would consider
If prices of the 280 and 380 series are an indicator then the 480 should come in at less than £200. I hope AMD don't do the Nvidia tactic of pricing a low end card at mid range prices just because it's faster.
That would go against what they have said about growing th eTotal Addressable Market significantly.
However, the 480X may occupy the 970/390 slot if it's Fury level performance with the Vega addressing the top end segment.

The thermals and overclocking should be far better than a fiji based part. Also as you mentioned, this comes with a lot more new goodies across the entire range.
Remember there is no actual 380X, so the higher end Pascal P10 could be slotting in to a 390 replacement which would be ~£250 and Fury performance. Smaller P10 becoming R9 480 as a 380 replacement at the £200 price point and with 390X performance. Just guessing of course.

We don't know the performance, so that's just guesswork on your part.
<£200 and they could have a winner; >£250 and many of us just aren't interested. £250 and upward isn't mainstream anymore. Mainstream is £100-£200 really.
AMD seem to have cottoned on to this given what little they've told us has all been about perf/$, addressing the mainstream, "affordable" VR, etc.
I was thinking about that too. Perhaps selling now whilst we can still get 300 for the Fury's isn't a bad idea.

Overclocking would need to be atrocious for it not to beat Fiji
As for thermals remember Polaris is a much smaller chip so it has a lot less area to dissipate the heat. So while it uses considerably less power it will be harder to keep cool. You can see this already in effect when comparing reference 980Ti to 1080 thermals in reviews where temperature is roughly the same even though the 980Ti is a significantly larger chip and using a lot more power.

no actual 380x what do you mean ?
If there are 2 die harvest of p10, then i 'd like.to think amd do away with tonga 380/380x.
And replace it with the smaller polaris 11 at 120-150.
With the polaris 10 at 180-220 and the polaris 10 xt at 240-300.
I won't be suprised if amd take the current 390 pricing tier though.
But we know AMD are planing on both mainstream and performance markets. So that goes right from £100 to 390 type of prices at ~£250+. So if they have a 390 replacement that is ~25% faster then they will have a great card at a great price. That would also mean current 390 or 970 type performance at less than £200. Less than £200 for affordable VR is exactly what AMD are aiming for.
These numbers are right in line with the usual ~20-30% price/perf increase across the range we see with each new GPU release.
