Description

I just wanted to chime in that there is a lot of interest in this CPU performance API for Adobe web apps. This would allow us to create fallback experiences for app features that aren't performing as well on less capable CPUs, or to progressively enhance the experience to best match the device's CPU capabilities.

I can imagine this would be quite helpful for numerous of our public facing web apps, including these, and more to come:

  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • Lightroom
  • Firefly
  • Frame.io
  • Express
  • Acrobat

I agree that a small number of performance buckets seems like the correct approach, and having buckets that do not change over time (so a tier 4 CPU will always remain a tier 4 CPU, even when more capable CPUs are introduced) feels like the most useful approach for targeting the user experience correctly.

Very much looking forward to progress on this!
