Even if it's not, though, 470's speeds cannot be much higher than 480 can they?
I didn't say they were "much" higher. Only shader is "somewhat" higher teh other just a little.

Just my guesses, can I not have any?

That being said, the GTX 470 is faster than the GTX 480 by your numbers
Yes, having more SP but less MHz will mix the performance with the 470 a little. Depends on the game. Overall the 480 will win but very limited availability so can we even count that?
