還記得我們之前提過，Windows Phone 8 會開始使用雙核處理器嗎？原來Windows Phone 8(Apollo)不只帶來了高通的雙核處理器。Nokia 證實已選擇了 ST-Ericsson 的 NovaThor作旗下 Windows Phone 8 的處理器。Nokia 在Windows Phone生態的影響力真高呢。但除其可能使用ST-Ericsson現在的U8500 ， U5500和U9500 雙核處理器外，Nokia 應該會亦繼續使用高通的處理器。加上現在的NovaThor系統處現器不支援LTE 4G 的通訊技術，LTE的手機在美國市場一般來說都是頂級手機，所以未來ST-Ericsson可能會推出新的核心以滿足Nokia的要求。繼續閱讀後會有U9500的資料
