The latest AMD Catalyst 12.9 was released yesterday (13/9/12) . The most significant change here is that Catalyst 9 improves your embedded Radeon graphics. For example if you’re using a netbook with an AMD CPU, then you have better support for its embedded IGPU, like E6760, E6460 etc.
Last but not least, the AMD hasn’t updated their website, thus this link is located under embedded graphics, not PC Desktop. Hopefully they will update their website during the next 24 hours.
