| haxxiy said: SvennoJ has actually a pretty good point. A mere 4 ms of added latency would beat the speed of light for anything further away than some 600 km. And optic fibers are slower than the speed of light, plus all the hardware and streaming involved on both ends. Unless servers are really, really decentralized, which seems... expensive for an affordable streaming service, there's no way even the optimal, best case added latency is just 4 ms. The xCloud being demonstrated was probably hosted from a neighboring borough, or something. |
He has if it would have been so simple
Edit: there are many variables which make taking that 4ms at facevalue hilariously wrong

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
