The CEO of ST-Ericsson got chatty in front of Forbes and said that Nokia’s Windows Phone 7 devices will be powered by the U8500 dual-core CPU and its successors will go on to power Windows Phone 8 phones too.To far, Windows Phone 7 devices have been exclusively powered by Qualcomm chipsets (on account of Microsoft’s limiting guidelines, which were revised lately). ST-Ericsson’s CEO however says that they'll be 1 of two chip suppliers for Nokia’s WP7 phones (he didn’t say which was the other 1).

The very first Nokia devices will use the dual-core U8500 chipset, which has been observed running at 1.2GHz. Issues may well alter by the time these devices come out, but they may be the very first dual-core Windows Phone 7 handsets.
The CEO also said that over the course of 2012 Nokia will release 12 Windows Phone 7 devices that may be based on future versions of the U8500 chipset. He also believes that ST-Ericsson will be a key supplier for Windows Phone 8, yep that is 8.
