This is great news

The thing that worries me is that it claims to require AMD Catalyst to be installed. Hopefully this can just be worked around (I happily used their OpenCL SDK on NVidia hardware), but we'll see. I'd really like to try this thing out on some Intel hardware (for work), get using that HD4000.

It's beta, AMD wants to support their own hardware with their own software.
