If there's one thing we know about ATi, it's that their Mobility card numbers have little to do with the desktop card numbers. As I said, the Mobility 9500 seems to be positioned as a successor to the 9200, with performance probably between the 9200 and 9600.
Take a look at the Roadmap diagram:

The 9500 is placed in the "Mainstream" row at a slightly higher level than the 9200, but clearly below the "Performance Mid-Range" level of the 9600/9700/X600.
And if you look further right on the chart on the same row as the 9700/X600, you'll see the M26. That will be the Mid-Range Performance successor to the 9700/X600 for Pentium-M machines. You can see how it's positioned one level below the M18/9800 and PCI-E M28 card.
