AMD posted a thing or two on its blog about the DX12 API. The blog entry also lists a handy overview of what cards are actually DX12 compatible.

Now very little is new to the list, other then the fact that AMD is confirming DX12 compatibility with products based on the GPU/IGPs below. Presuming you’ve installed Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 (or later) and obtained the latest driver from Windows Update, here’s the list of DirectX 12-ready AMD components.

AMD Radeon R9 Series graphics
AMD Radeon R7 Series graphics
AMD Radeon R5 240 graphics
AMD Radeon HD 8000 Series graphics for OEM systems (HD 8570 and up)
AMD Radeon HD 8000M Series graphics for notebooks
AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series graphics (HD 7730 and up)
AMD Radeon HD 7000M Series graphics for notebooks (HD 7730M and up)
AMD A4/A6/A8/A10-7000 Series APUs (codenamed “Kaveri”)
AMD A6/A8/A10 PRO-7000 Series APUs (codenamed “Kaveri”)

Didn't we already know this? Unless they mean they're 'FULLY' compatible like stated above, this isn't new information is it? Thanks for the update anyway Hilbert.

I'd assume this is only "basic" compatibility and the earlier posted charts and such detailing the actual feature levels of DirectX 12 are fairly accurate with how the older Radeon GPU's supports the standard DirectX 12 features but only the R9 290/290X (And 285?) supports the second D3D12 tier.
(And currently only the newest Nvidia GPU's support the third and final tier of features although I don't remember if there were anything special to these upper tiers besides additional tiled resources functionality.)
