When is Windows ARM Native support coming?

I bought my wife the new Surface Laptop with Snapdragon for her birthday last fall expecting that the CC suite including Premiere would get ported to ARM Native as promised by Adobe. Thus far, emulation mode is a huge disappointment. She produces a lot of videos for her work, and the performance and rendering/encoding is much slower than her old Intel Surface Laptop 3. It also crashes all the time.

Is the ARM Native port still planned? If so, what is the ETA? Some official communication would be appreciated in this regard. Let us know so we can either sell our laptops and get new machines, or know how long we should wait for.

@pentian Beta versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Audition are all now available in Window ARM native versions. You can read about the Premiere Pro WinARM beta here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta-discussions/now-in-beta-windows-on-arm-native-in-premiere-pro/td-p/15434715.

Sorry Ann, but this is not the correct answer. I'm looking for input from someone on the Adobe product team that can give some transparency to the roadmap.

You posted the KB stating that emulation mode is supported. My question is asking about ARM Native support which was announced as coming in H2'24 by both Adobe and Microsoft over a year ago. The issues I've stated stem from the fact that Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder, are only supported by emulation mode, thus the performance discrepancy. This makes Snapdragon PCs unsuitable for any moderately serious video editing.
