It will be about 40% to 45% slower. These cards are aimed at completely different markets and shouldn't even be compared. 

 

The 480 will target 390/390X performance at stock clocks and Fury performance when overclocked.

I didn't think the 1070 was 45% faster than a 390X...

480 is about 60-65% of 1070 performance, stock vs. stock, at least in the hundreds of firestrike benchmarks done so far. Firestrike is a good indicator of potential raw performance and is not helped by driver optimization (although some driver cheating is possible but unlikely due to constant scrutiny). It means that 1070 is about 50-55% faster than a 480 in raw performance, so 45% faster than 390x is realistic.

 

Of course, that % will vary depending on the game, drivers, API and whether AMD or Nvidia worked closely with developers.

Imagine if AMD released these at the same time when NVIDIA released 900 series >.<
