I’m willing to bet AMD won’t be making any free (as in freedom) drivers available, meaning the user will have to either install proprietary drivers (which BTW probably won’t work on Ubuntu 16.06, due to some change that apparently got made to the X Windows System), or third-party drivers, which will take lord-knows-how-long to write from scratch (presumably without AMD’s help, and without any hardware documentation).
