STMicroelectronics has won a contract to supply Nokia with processors capable of running multimedia functions for mobile handsets, according to a report on the website of financial daily La Tribune.STMicro is already a legacy supplier for other chips to Nokia, but this new order would allow STMicro to become a multimedia chip supplier as well, alongside Texas Instruments, the report said, citing sources who attended the 3GSM conference in Barcelona last week.
Neither STMicro nor Nokia would confirm or deny the new agreement.
What is going on?
A few days ago we heard that Nokia is going to use Infineon chipsets, and now this?
I guess when you’re as large as Nokia you can afford to get chips from more than one manufacturer.
