This is NVIDIA trying to do the same thing that drove OnLive to bankruptcy. It's a neat tech demo, but it's a solution looking for a problem.
At home, where people play these games, they have no problem paying for enough computing power to do so. On the go, people don't want to play PC or home console games at all. They want to play mobile games designed with small screens and short play sessions in mind. And any device power saved by moving the processing to the cloud gets eaten up by the bandwidth required to stream... assuming you can get that bandwidth to begin with.
