This is interesting. It seems that Intel is starting to feel the pressure from Nvidia and AMD. I guess this can only be good for the consumer.

Actually this might be because Samsund have released the NC20 with the Via cpu and chipset instead of Intel. Although there are no benchmarks yet, I would bet Intel is a tad concerned.

Definetely the NC 20 seems really nice and the VIA platform is promising. I only wish it was 10" rather than 12".

I bet they will do a 10" model. The £100 price hike puts in the same price as a good laptop and then a little more you can get a 12" laptop with a mobile CPU and dvd writer etc etc...

Also the 12" model will suffer a poorer battery life.
