SYCL (SYCL-2020 spec) supports multiple backends, including Nvidia's CUDA, AMD's HIP, OpenCL, Intel's Level-zero, and also running on the host CPU. This can either be done with Intel's DPC++ w/ Codeplay's plugins, or using AdaptiveCpp (aka. hipSYCL, aka openSYCL). OpenCL is just another backend.
It is also a very long way from OpenCL C++. The code is a single C++ file, and you don't need to write any special kernel language. The vast majority of SYCL is just C++, so -if you avoid a couple of features- you can use SYCL in library-only form without even any special compiler! This is possible for instance with AdaptiveCpp.
