The European department of Hercules has confirmed the company’s cooperation with ATI in practice: today 3D Prophet ALL-IN-WONDER 7500 was announced. This graphics card is a complete analog to the recently introduced ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 7500 except the name. It is reported that under an agreement with ATI Hercules will be an exclusive supplier of 3D Prophet ALL-IN-WONDER 7500 in Europe, where original ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 7500 cards won’t be sold via official channels.
This way, as Hercules has no productive capacities, there are no doubts that in Europe it will simply sell ATI’s cards under its own trademark. This fact makes us expect that the graphics card lines from ATI and Hercules (those based on ATI chips) will coincide till parallel announcements of new products - an effect to be observed in the case of 3D Prophet ALL-IN-WONDER 7500.
The new Hercules 3D Prophet ALL-IN-WONDER 7500 card will start shipping in February.
