It's not the same chip as the 8500/9100 like most people are saying! Why?
It has fullstream support (ATI site info) making it look more like a 9000 derivative....

Anyone have more 9200 info?

EDIT: The good news is that even the retail box 9200 is fanless - at least the Non-Pro is anyways. They don't show the pro on ATI.com.

The final product of the day is ATI's Radeon 9200, based on the RV280 core. The Radeon 9200 is nothing more than an AGP 8X version of the Radeon 9000, yet it carries a higher model number; marketing at its best, go figure. There is a chance the Radeon 9200 Pro could be higher clocked than the Radeon 9000 Pro, but we'll have to wait until April before confirming that.

Yeah, that seems about right. Hey, I won't mind if the price is right and it's clocked fast enough to finally beat an 8500. ;)
Provided it's also still fanless. And cheap. ;)

EDIT: This could mean nice discounts on Radeon 9000 cards, too... though if the 8500 was any indication it'll be a pretty slow trickle.

Apparently they might have taken out the integrated Rage Theater chip again...
