AMD Radeon Rx 480 3DMark 11 Performance Benchmark Surfaces
Yes, I am fairly certain this is the real thing you guys, in the Futuremark database an entry appeared under device ID 67DF:C7, that Hardware ID has been tied to the AMD Radeon RX 480 for a while now. The product is listed at 1266 MHz clock frequency, which was announced for the AMD Radeon Rx 480.
Now the result that surfaced was from 3DMark 11, the Performance Benchmark. A bit underpowered benchmark I'd say. But the result is interesting none the less as the Radeon RX 480 would position itself precisely where it was expected to be, at a GeForce GTX 980 performance level closing in towards Hawaii (390) and Fiji (Fury).
The card also lists 8GB graphics memory, again that matches the announcement info. So yes, that looks to be the real thing. AMD announced the Radeon Polaris GPU in the form of the Radeon Rx 480 last week at Computex. A graphics card that will perform just above 5 TFLOPS With it's 150 TDP it'll have 36 CUs (x 64 shader processors per CU = 2304 Shader processors). The card will be available in both 4GB and 8GB versions and has 256-bit GDRR5 memory at 256 GB/s (= 8 Gbps effective much like the GeForce GTX 1070). The card will run in the 1267 MHz range on it's boost clock. The card will start at 199 USD for the 4GB model. 8GB models will likely become available at a higher price premium. The product did not get a launch date, but we expect late this month.
Check out the results here.

I believe that is just a 6-pin card. I would say for $200+ it is very good.

Seems really good for $200.
I wonder what it is about graphics test 4 that makes Polaris perform better than the Fury? Also has there been any rumors about the wattage on the 480? I know they listed 150w as the max (75+75) but there was people over on /r/amd saying it was going to be only 90w, which seems insanely low to me.
I heard it was to be 130-140w.

Reference 4GB models should be 200 USD, 8GB more likely 249 USD'ish.. still very OK though
