Just because a certain class of hardware cannot support a GL version, doesn't mean it cannot implement parts of it. Case in point: many OpenGL 2.0 class cards offer framebuffer object (offscreen rendering) support, which is only became core in GL 3.0 (in fact my engine relies on it, and thus I can state the minimum version as "2.0").

Also, AMD's hardware is fully capable of 4.4, their catalyst driver just hasn't gotten around to supporting it yet. They took about a year before they added 4.3 support as well.

So is wikipedia wrong here or is this just implemented as a software accelerated feature?

That is why You will see Intel GPU's listed as capable of OpenGL 3.3, and DX11

The latest work by Marek Ol??k of AMD is implementing ARB_buffer_storage support within the R300, R600, and RadeonSI open-source AMD Linux graphics drivers...
