Transistors    rx480-5,700 million   vs   390x-6,200 million
Bus Width              256 bit           vs           512 bit
so your 480 is approximately equal to the 280x and  will never reach the level of 390

So what ?

Pitcairn have 256 bit bus too, but only 100-120 H/s
Fiji have 4096 bit bus, but it does even less than Havaii.




Bus width is only part of the equation. Bandwidth is a better representation.

                 RX480       vs R9 390      vs R9 Fury
Frequency: 2000 MHz       6000 MHz      500 MHz
Interface:   256-bit           512-bit          4096-bit
Bandwidth: 256 GB/s        384 GB/s       512 GB/s

Being that equihash is specifically designed to bottleneck on bandwidth I wouldn't hold my breath for major increases on the RX series...
