It's definitely going to outperform the 1080.. if it takes 8+ months for AMD to build something and it doesn't beat the 1080 they might as well just sell their graphics division off. Obviously there might be some variant between 480x and 1080 for a cheap price - I mean they do have to fill that huge void, but the high end part is definitely beating the 1080 - I don't even know why people are questioning that.

We know basically nothing about the performance.
If the Doom demo was legit and it only outperforms the 1080 by 10% on stock and we consider how little the RX480 overclocks vs Pascal... right now I think the GTX1080 is the winner.
I hope you now know why people are questioning it.
Hopefully all will be revealed in 2 days, but most likely AMD will show off the performance in the most AMD favorable titles vs a stock 1080.
Nothing is certain until release.

It doesn't really have to outperform the 1080. If it's thereabouts and costs less, it might do ok. Problem is, a lot of potential buyers already have a 1070, 1080 or 980ti so nobody from those guys will jump the ship.
If it's faster than the 1080 and costs slightly more than the 1070, great. We all know AMD are going to price this accordingly. Read expensive. Their history suggests just that. Expensive.

Nvidia sells overpriced card and the fansbois say that a premium product comes with a price.
AMD will likely come out with a card that likely beats the 1080 by 10-20% and the same fanbois get upset and call foul if it isn't rock bottom priced. Even though they never had any real intent to buy one.
See the problem here?
Then insert stages of denial that the 1080 is so much better because of power, heat or noise.
When that doesn't work the last ditch effort is saying the drivers are bad.
In fact Nvidia drivers cant seem to even run BF1 still without crashing. I've got a 5000 post thread to prove it.
Lets agree to end this before it starts
It has to outperform the 1080, the magic will happen(or not) with the pricing. But i doubt it's gonna be cheap. So no magic.
