A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Here begins our 2021 adventure. If there's a bright spot in our construction of a 2021 baseline for performance, this is it. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Hard Reset.

On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing and execution times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). Vitaly Friedman.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. WebGPU is likely to ship in Chrome in late 2021. This is as it should be.
