Explore AMD’s bold shift to ARM architecture, revealing potential impacts on innovation, performance, and the tech landscape.
In a significant shift following Qualcomm’s success with ARM-based solutions, AMD is reportedly exploring similar avenues. A recent leak has unveiled that AMD is developing a new series of APUs, codenamed ‘Sound Wave’. The first iterations of these processors are expected to debut in Microsoft’s Surface laptops by 2026.
AMD’s Engagement with ARM

According to Kepler_L2, a source known for reliable leaks, the AMD Sound Wave series APUs will leverage TSMC’s advanced 3nm manufacturing process. On the graphics front, these APUs will incorporate the RDNA 3.5 architecture. This strategy mirrors NVIDIA’s development of ARM-based ‘N1X’ chips, which are also intended for AI-enhanced portable systems.
The growing prominence of ARM architecture in the mobile market, largely due to its efficient energy consumption and superior performance per watt, is a key motivator for AMD’s interest in this field. By transitioning to ARM, AMD—already a contender in the mobile segment with its x86 APUs—stands to offer more balanced and efficient systems. However, specific details about the platform remain undisclosed at this stage.
Notably, Sound Wave is not AMD’s inaugural foray into ARM architecture. Back in 2014, the company introduced Project Skybridge, which aimed to unify x86 and ARM architectures on a single platform. Unfortunately, this project was shelved due to economic and strategic challenges at the time.
