Pravin,

<A good move by VIA to buy Centaur, but I suspect it has more to do with limiting competition then bolstering the x86 design team>

This may have been a reason too. However, I do not believe the competitive risk was too significant - x86 is a very tough market and not too many people are willing to get into this. And, if someone is brave enough, I am sure they could pick up Rise for a lowly amount.
