Can someone please explain how cloud can make it more powerful?

Developers can offload things like physics, AI, and load times to the cloud to massively free up the CPU and GPU.

Theoretically it coukd make things like 4k gaming a reality

I dont see how cloud-computation could help to visually improve a game. Either you stream the whole game or you dont. Of course it might make sense to compute some AI in the cloud (agree in that aspect). There is huge latency involved when use the cloud. How would you improve GPU computation having such latency?!

Considering also the additional complexity and development costs it does not make any sense.

To me this sounds like marketing non-sense and findig reasons for always-online.
