Anybody else finds it very confusing that this is called Sound Wave and it's not a specific chip for sound synthesis applications?

I was hoping it'd be a very cool soundcard, perhaps with unlimited General Midi channels.

10^5 orchestra hit polyphony.

I am referencing one of the sound-effects contained in General MIDI. GM gives you many sounda of instruments like piano, harpsichord, guitar etc.

But it also contains these (much to the fun of everybody who ever played around with a GM keyboard):

  125 Telephone Ring
  126 Helicopter
  127 Applause
  128 Gunshot

I can clearly hear in my head myself repeatedly playing middle C and going through that sequence of patches.

AMD could enter ARM market with Sound Wave APU built on TSMC 3nm process
