- Support for CPU/x86 images (Enables the support for image formats, as described in the Khronos OpenCL Specification, to be run on the x86 CPU)
- Support for cl_khr_fp64 on the CPU.
- Cached reads (-fno-alias)
- Binary image format improvements
- DXVA buffer sharing
- FFT performance improvements
- Uninstallation of SDK 2.4 or its components is now done through the Catalyst Install Manager (CIM). See the Installation Notes for a description of the procedure.
- For the AMD APP Profiler v2.2:
- Support for OpenCL™ application summary
- Support for profiling with AMD Radeon™ HD6900 series GPUs (requires AMD APP SDK v2.4 and AMD Catalyst 11.2 or newer)
- Improved Session List Explorer
