Ati already had something like this, for quite a while. It was called STREAM, and it was pretty bad. AMD rebranded it as AMD APP and it is a little better, but it sounds like they are finally serious about HPC.
Either that, or they have been forced to adopt the nVidia route due to entrenched CUDA and nVidia paid de-optimizations for folding and other parallel computing.
