Computerbase.de has made an interesting comparison between the Radeon R9 280X, Radeon R9 380X and Radeon RX 470.
All clocked at the same frequency and configured with similar memory bandwidth. All three have 2048 shader units.
It's in German but chrome auto translate works pretty well with it as the German-English sentence structure is so similar. Plus, graphs explain themselves.

On some games the difference is huge, like The Witcher 3 which shows 41% improvement over GCN 1, all at the same core count and clock speed.

which, ya know, makes me even sadder that the most money I could throw at a macbook would get me a GCN 1.0 GPU, which is hardly an update from my mid 2014...Grumble grumble
