What does this mean? How much? I don't think this sentence is used too often, is it a native language?

a guy asked me what is the damage of Intel core i7?, which she did not mean what if the processor is damaged as I confirmed with her.So Is there such a meaning related to "how much"?

Yes, it definitely means 'How much money does it cost'. I remember this from the film "Astronaut Farmer":
-What's the damage?
-Fifty grand, cash.
