The above sentence is also true for AMD as the current OpenSource driver don't have support for "Image Support", so the only way to get OpenCL working with AMD is to use the proprietary driver.
And this is the issue with AMD, the proprietary driver won't work on some kernel, is only supported on Unbutu (see the thread about the way to hack this by installing libraries manually) and works only for a limited set of AMD cards. That's quite a lot of limitation whereas the NVIDIA proprietary driver works fine in lot more context and come with a nice dkms module which follows kernel update.
