All bulldozer chips run dolphin poorly (along with most applications in general). The entire architecture is poorly designed for an application like dolphin that doesn't rely heavily on multithreading and/or vector arithmetic.
I'm not even sure if it will be any better than your current cpu at running dolphin (probably very slightly better). Phenom II chips outperform bulldozer in dolphin.
If you want my advice (which I assume you do since you posted here) either save up for ivy bridge or stick with what you have.
