Via CPUs are known to be entry-level models, not so powerful but with good power consumption figures. In addition, such partnership will allow Via to associate its CPU to the currently successful NVidia 9400M-based solutions, allowing the Korean to be back on the scene and to better deal with the strongest competitor for its CPU offers, Intel ATOM
