The foundry indeed indicated that it has no intention for a partnership and that it did not hope to validate the 9400M on its ultra mobile platform.
Moreover, today it is still impossible to buy Atom processors without acquiring the in-house controller at the same time, which would force mother board manufacturers to circumvent this "interdiction" by having to keep them without the hope of using them later on.
This is a bad blow for NVidia which had here an important card to play.
It should be said that the relations between the two companies have been stressed since the beginning of the year:
- While specializing on the GPGPU, NVidia has encroached on the prerogatives of the Intel process
