HCL Launches Gaming and Multimedia Desktops

A line of new gaming and multimedia desktops, christened 'Infiniti Orbital K Series', has been launched by the India-based HCL Infosystems Limited. The desktops are based on the Triple Core AMD Phenom X3 8000 processor and will cost from Rs. 33,000 onwards.

HCL has begun shipping the desktops and they will be available through HCL's distribution network as well as their Digilife chain of stores.

Although HCL claims that the desktops will provide “unparalleled performance for a wide variety of demanding applications”, the absence of an Intel Core 2 Duo (the Penryn comes to mind) and the price tag really makes one wonder as to the performance levels that these desktops will be able to provide. If HCL however does manage to pack in solid performance at that price-tag, it will be great news. However, instinct tells us that gamers should wait before they head over to the HCL stores with their checkbooks in hand.

This news will need careful watching over.
