In theory, GPU should be faster than the general-purpose CPUs.  But I'm not 
aware of any Linux-based, FOSS app that do GPU-based video encoding.  Here 
(http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2282401,00.asp) says Intel is 
faster than AMD in encoding video.  Your best bet is probably the PS3.

which processor fastest for x264 encoding/recoding?

i know there are so many variables (input/output resolution,
input/output video bitrate, input/output audio codec, input/output
audio bitrate, input video codec, and the many knobs of x264 encoder)

has anyone compared core2quads vs xeons vs amd or even GPUs or game
consoles? tnx
