Intel T7250 NV Mobile Core 2 Duo CPU

I recently bought a Thinkpad X61 from Lenovo outlet. Before I placed my order I was confused by the CPU it has: T7250 NV since I couldn't find any information on this CPU, in particular the NV suffix. After googling a bit I still cannot find a conclusive answer, as people believe it's either Normal Voltage or No Virtualization. After receiving my X61 today and play around, I can confirm that it does support Intel Virtualization, so NV would simply mean Normal Voltage.
