OTTAWA (Reuters) - ATI Technologies Inc. ATY.TO ATYT.O unveiled its fastest, most sophisticated line of graphics chips on Thursday, a competitive shot across the bow of arch-rival Nvidia Corp. NVDA.O

Yep, and the Radeon 9800 will be about 25% faster than the Radeon 9700.  Plus they have moved to the smaller .13 micron die size for the 9600 (and while it didn't say, I would assume the same for the 9200)
