"With the launch of the AMD Radeon R9 390X imminent, the Radeon R9 490X is over the horizon, with it reportedly set for launch in 2016. The new card will be based on the Arctic Islands architecture, manufactured on the 14nm process, and using the second generation HBM2.
Radeon R9 490X will be built on the 14nm process thanks to Globalfoundries, a change from previous rumors that TSMC would be leading the GPU charge for AMD going into 2016. "

3000% better than whatever NVIDIA brings to the table.
If anything, they should at least be an improvement over current gen. The problem isn't that though, NVIDIA market share is so damn high, so even if they make a perfect card, don't expect devs to stop using useless features for NVIDIA both wasting time and consumers money when regardless what card they use, won't even be able to max it out without patch after patch, even though the game is SUPPOSED TO BE OUT, ridiculous....

There really isn't any known specifications data for the next generation of graphics cards, so any speculation towards how they will perform is pretty much baseless.

Who should have an upper hand is debatable. AMD is in a good position to deliver a great product, yes, but Nvidia is also in a good position. For example, Nvidia has shown that you can reduce the GPU's reliance on memory performance with large caches and significant compression, so AMDs advantage in HBM might be not be significant.
