Additionally, when we switched from the old VLIW architecture to the GCN core there was a significant updates to all parts of the driver was needed – although not really spoken about the entire memory management on GCN is different to prior GPU's and the initial software management for that was primarily driven by schedule and in the meantime we've been rewriting it again and we have discovered that the new version has also improved frame latency in a number of cases so we are accelerating the QA and implementation of that.

This is much more critical for AMD because your own marketing department has pretty much written off high-end x86 performance (including vector-extensions to x86) in favor of OpenCL. Well, in the open source world there are even fewer applications that can benefit from OpenCL than on Windows. So, what is AMD's plan to push OpenCL software to a wider audience including cross-platform development?

Were you doing dev for those titles or were you handling PR? Just curious what your role(s) was

Sam, care to make a non-weasel reply to Count Chuckula's assertion?
What future, if any, does AM3+ have?
(Does anyone at AMD realize that the company's Chirping Crickets policy regarding FX is not exactly 'enabling consumer confidence.')This is much more critical for AMD because your own marketing department has pretty much written off high-end x86 performance (including vector-extensions to x86) in favor of OpenCL.

Good question.
Even on Windoze, OpenCL apps don't write themselves.
How long will it really take to replace current CPU intensive apps with OpenCL equivalents?
In what specific ways is AMD helping Big Software to make the transition?
And what about the hardware end of it?
FM2 doesn't have the bandwidth to properly execute Compute. When does the platform get DDR5 and/or extra memory channels?

Also, I like Bryan Del Rizzo.
EDIT: Nevermind, Bryan isn't who I thought he was. Sean Cleveland is the cool one.
