I don't know who told you that AMD is not supported, but they're wrong.
Yes Intel has it's problems but they're likely to solve them eventually.
AMD cards should be working (not aware of any critical issues), although they've got a new architecture (Vega) coming out at the end of the month so goodness knows what issues that might bring.
As for Nvidia, the situation with VDPAU makes it a lot less attractive (IMHO) due to uncertainty over whether there will be continued VDPAU support in Kodi going forward.
To be totally honest, I'd recommend a Raspberry Pi/OdroidC2 and wait for things to settle down...
