Yes, they do. AMD documentation documents every detail of the processor
and is available for free download.

Big difference between ATi and AMD is that ATi does a lot of digital
restrictions management (Macrovision analog, HDCP, ....) and AMD doesn't.
Documenting the chips in detail means also documenting how to switch off
Macrovision and HDCP.
