Radeon HD 3870x2 vs. OpenCL

[Scott Bennett]

     The only thing I've found was a table at an AMD web site that says
that the Radeon HD 3870x2 card works with the now abandoned ATI Streams
software, but not OpenCL.  Can someone explain to me what this card lacks
that OpenCL needs in order to use it?  I had thought that if it supported
one, it would support the other, but supposedly it's a GPGPU (two, actually)
that doesn't support OpenCL.
     Thanks in advance for any explanation.
