Question:

Will the AMD Bulldozer have the same video encoding capabilities like Intel Sandy Bridge?

Will the AMD Bulldozer with no integrated graphic perform like Sandy Bridge, or will AMD Llano will be able to do that with integrated graphics?

Answer:

Word is that AMD does not have any video encoding features built into the Bulldozer and Llano chips similar to what Intel used. The Bulldozer chip is not expected to have any video capabilities at all, and Llano will have a GPU that is capable of decoding video. It is worth noting that the GPU in Llano is capable of much more than just decoding though, and with the right software should be able to do just about anything, such as encode video. A goal of AMD is to put the GPU to more use than just gaming and video. Bulldozer CPU is expected to have similar performance to Sandy Bridge, but you will need to have a video card either added or built into the chipset of the motherboard. Llano will have much better graphics than Sandy Bridge, possibly even along the lines of the older generation Radeon 3850 or one of the mid range 5000 series cards. Llano is not going to be an incredibly fact CPU, and a quad Llano is expected to be around the speed of the Athlon II quad. It looks like Llano is going to be a mid-range CPU paired with a mid-range GPU, something that has many people excited.
no one knows the answer to such questions yet, you're gonna have to wait for benchmarks like everybody else.
well on information compiled it seems to be bulldozer with the slight edge
