9800 Pro review at ExtremeTech
HotHardware Review

Engine Clock (Mhz):
-Radeon 9700 Pro: 325
-Radeon 9800 Pro: 380

Memory Clock (Mhz):
-Radeon 9700 Pro: 310
-Radeon 9800 Pro: 340

Summary: 17% engine clock and 10% memory clock increases translate into about a 5% increase w/o eye candy; 36% w/ 4X AA & 8X AF.

EDIT: X-bit labs did some extreme overclocking at got a 9700 Pro to 450 core / 400 memory. Link I was expecting ATI to push a 400/400. Oh well.

EDIT2: Looks like FIC (or the Inq) got it wrong at 400/460.

Gamers Depot Review
THG Review
HardOCP Review

Hmmmm... Made by Visiontek. That explains things...
9800 Pro 256 @ 380 core / ??? mem / 256-bit DDR2
9800 Pro 128 @ 380 core / 340 mem / 256-bit DDR1
9800 @ ??? core / ??? mem / 256-bit DDR1
9600 Pro 128 @ 400 core / 300 mem / 128-bit DDR1 --> faster than a 9500 but has only 4 pipes (the 9500 has 8 pipes)
9600 @ 325 core / 200 mem / 128-bit DDR1

HotHardware Overclocks to 430 core / 380 mem. Underclocking it to 9700 Pro speeds still shows that it is 3% faster.
HardOCP Overclocks to 440 core / 370 mem.

I find it interesting that both HardOCP and THG use Athlons and in Serious Sam II, the 9800 Pro lost to the 5800 Ultra w/o AF/AA turned on.
