There's release notes here and an article on Yahoo stating they're the most stable video drivers. Coverage of these new drivers on DriverHeaven, EliteBastards, HardOCP, HotHardware and LegitReviews. There's a thread discussing them here in our Video Cards forum. Phoronix meanwhile cover ATI's Linux Display Driver v8.14.13.
