Turkish tech site Donanim Haber got its hands on a leaked AMD document that claims the 8-core Bulldozer will be up to 50 percent faster than Intel's old Core i7-950 and the company's recently released Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. Sounds pretty impressive, such a performance boost could give AMD the performance crown but we suggest to take this news with a grain of salt.

Donanimhaber.com published first official performance figure of Bulldozer based new generation CPUs. Donanimhaber wrote that there is no MHz or model info about cpu but infos came from official AMD document, 8 core Bulldozer CPU is 50% faster than not only Core i7-950 but also Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition.
