here we go again with a new thread ikt will never end . True is it will run AMD SoC
But one thing is for sure. Within half a year we can get a Nokia of some sort (most probably a phone) with the ST Ericsson U8500 platform: dual Cortex-A9 at 1.2 GHz and a multicore GPU. The performance will be like nothing we have seen before. Call it what you want: N9, N007, N1001 whatever, it doesn't matter, it will kick some serious *** no matter what.

Be really careful with these chip manufacturers estimated dates. They pretty much never happen like planned, if happen at all.U8500 is pretty much born by Nokia and ST Ericsson for future Symbian devices and i don't think too many are doubting you that we will see it inside Nokia phone as it was already announced in 2008, but i very much doubt we will see it on the first wave of Meego devices, if at all this year from MeeGo side.

I predict with 100% certainty that the N9 will have a cpu in it, some ram and flash, an LCD display with touch screen, a cellular radio with 3g on some RF freq or other, wifi of some sort, bluetooth of some sort, a battery, a camera or two, and a usb port probably micro.
I can also predict that some people will love it, some people will say it's not as good as an iphone or an android device. Some people will complain its too big, others too small, some too fat, too heavy.
Some reviewers will reject it casually as it won't carry an apple logo, others will try it and hate it, some will love it.
Whilst you're waiting for it, go find something useful to do like learn to hack around with QtPy or something.
Still here?

ST-Ericsson
“As a strong supporter of open source Linux, we welcome the MeeGo initiative,” says Teppo Hemia, Vice President and head of 3G Multimedia Platforms at ST-Ericsson. “ST-Ericsson will strive to provide the best reference design to the developer community, while also contributing to the development of a broad array of innovative new mobile devices.”
okay great, but the meego kernel doesn't support any part of the u8500 platform yet. where's the drivers for the ab8500, cw1200, or cg2900? where's the kernel patches to enable those when the u8500 is detected? I am pretty sure if the N9 was to be a ST-Ericsson device, they would be required to put these components into the official repository by now. Even you yourself think the N9 is scrapped, yet you make a topic "N9 will have...". What an abortion of a thread.
what do you see there?
a bunch of supported x86 platforms, and the arm stuff. arm stuff says n900 and a comment saying
#Put other ARM variants here
ITS BLANK
I assume medfield is the native platform, so isn't listed either.

That's an old video, I've seen it ages ago. But thanks for finding it.
Well Nokia's next flagship has 4 likely processor candidates:
(in order of most likely to least likely, imho)
1) Texas Instrument OMAP 3640 with 512MB DDR2 RAM (Single-core Cortex A8 @1GHz, SGX535)
2) ST-Ericson U8500 with 1GB DDR2 RAM (Dual-core Cortex A9 @1.2GHz, MALI 400MP)
3) Texas Instrument OMAP 4430 with 1GB DDR2 RAM (Dual-core Cortex A9 @1GHz, SGX540)
4) Intel Atom Z6xx (Moorsetown) with 1GB DDR2 RAM (Single-core x86 @1.2GHz, GMA600=SGX535)
