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)

Tom's hardware has made a test (http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030306/index.html) of the ATI 9600 and 9800pro.
