ST Ericsson, creator of the Novathor chip powering some of the smartphones, is cutting down over 1,600 jobs and might probably close down due to lower demand for its chips.

Back in January, ST Ericsson announced their own NovaThor L8580 Quad-core chip (which has four ARM Cortex A9 cores clocked at 2.5GHz, a PowerVR SGX544 GPU and integrated LTE) with succeeding reports they're pushing the clock speed to 3.0GHz.
