State of ARM Support for Puget Bench

Puget Bench runs natively on ARM, but the apps it tests still lag behind

Puget Systems' benchmark launcher has been fully ARM-native since version 1.4.30, yet host applications like Premiere and After Effects still lack full ARM support. Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve work well, but Premiere needs a beta for RAW codecs and RTX Spark GPU detection, and After Effects requires a beta for its Extended preset. The guide recommends raising timeout settings for slower Snapdragon devices and notes that feature parity with x86 is still in progress.

Lightroom Classic does NOT currently have an ARM-native version and will instead run in emulated mode.
