Graphics cards have data transfer rates much faster than even the fastest internet speeds available. The only thing the cloud will be good for is streaming or archived data. It could do minor calculations as well, but what's the point when a graphics card can do those calculations using a fraction of 1% of its power. |
Bandwidth isn't the determining factor of gauging the performance of a system.
Some tasks simply are NOT bandwidth sensitive or latency sensitive, tasks such as those are perfect for the cloud, especially tasks that are serial heavy.
With that in mind, the Cloud is also not exclusive to the Xbox one, in theory even the Sega Dreamcast could use it.
