While most manufacturers would charge a premium for their top-of-the-line product, AMD is taking a different approach when their Bulldozer processors release. Accordng to a report, AMD’s fastest 8-core processor from the Bulldozer family will be priced at just $320. This translates to roughly Rs. 14,500, and maybe a little more when they land on Indian shores.
