Are you sure it's a 12V fan - that sounds like a 6V fan rating. Otherwise it should be much faster or deeper (thicker - grabs more air on each rev) than your others.

More powerful. Weather that translates to more CFM is not guaranteed (efficeincy). Multiply that A figure by the 12 Volts the fan runs on and you get the fan's Wattage.
