Some of the slides in the link look pretty much like the ones that were leaked by donanimhaber a few weeks earlier:
http://www.donanimhaber.com/islemci/galerileri/AMD-Bulldozer-FX-resmi-test-sonuclari.htm
However, if you compare some of the identical slides from the two links, you will see differences that can be missed at first glance.
EDIT: It seems the first link in my post has the content removed, oh well. Got until Wednesday for hard numbers to come out.

A pity the presentation chose to make a strawman out of the 980X instead of making more sensible choices in hardware matchup … or perhaps that was entirely intentional. Too bad it only serves to lessen confidence.
5 more days to wait … it’s too late to hope for awesome hardware-based remote management, but at least AMD seems interested, just isn’t quite sure how to go about it.

I'm not fond of the idea of remotely managing my processor. Personally, I'd rather no one, myself included, be able to alter my CPU's and mainboard's settings without being in the BIOS.

Yeah, I thought the comparisons with the 980x to be pretty disingenuous when that slide compared platform value. If they used the 2600K in the platform comparison, thing would looks a lot different and would probably put the FX-8150 in not so bright a light.
A Preview/Review from Lab501. Do note that this review came out before the expected official launch of October 12th so do take this review with a grain of salt.
Video review (Link below has another link to said video but also has screens from it in case you don't want to watch it):

2 days before launch and already NDAs being broken huh~
I still await final confirmation on the 12th, but when none of these ‘leaks’ put Bulldozer in a good light, I can’t help but shake my head and remember Phenom.

Yeah. I'll probably replace my current CPu/mobo with an AMD equivilent in a year or two. They will have worked the bugs out, gotten the clock up, and it will be worth it at that point.
