Yes.  

In fact, GCC 3.0 will feature many improvements to the optimizers and
back-ends, including a mostly rewritten x86 back-end, and some new
global optimization algorithms.  There will be more improvements in
these areas in 3.1; 3.0 is mostly a user-visible feature release, not
an optimization release.
