Actually, an update that would BREAK backwards compatibility would be CPU, not GPU. Why you think there are so many fkn GPU architectures out there? R500, G70, R600, G80 are radically different architectures and are all compatible between them... giving different performance levels of course :P
But for CPU is a different story, there are only few CPU's architectures out there (PowerPC, x86 and x64... that its not really a lot different from x86)... and compatibility is an issue there :P
