AMD Enters ARM Market with Sound Wave APU
AMD is expanding its processor portfolio beyond the x86 architecture with its first ARM-based APU, internally known as “Sound Wave.”
The chip’s existence was uncovered through customs import records, confirming several details about its design and purpose.
According to leaks from industry insiders, such as @Moore’s Law Is Dead and @KeplerL2, “Sound Wave” is manufactured on TSMC’s 3 nm node and aims for a 5 W to 10 W TDP range, positioning it directly against Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite.
The chip is expected to power future Microsoft Surface products scheduled for release in 2026.
AMD’s decision to pursue ARM once again reflects the growing stability of the Windows on ARM ecosystem and the company’s intent to compete in the low-power computing segment where energy efficiency and AI capabilities are increasingly critical.
