Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft: Cloud Computing can provide power of 3 Xbox Ones, 32 X360s

We should just separate hype from reality: we know that, once cloud computing power is enough, what it can actually do is strictly function of the user's internet connection lag, some uses are already known, some others could be devised in the future by devs and we also perfectly know, given a maximum and average lag, what cannot be done effectively and with sufficient quality. MS perfectly knows it too, but it prefers to keep vague to increase the hype.
It should be careful, though, because except fanboys, the vast majority of people got fed up to rage level of that fast food derived "secret sauce" marketing crap, if it insists on it it will backfire, if it hasn't started yet.

As i said, this reminds me to the hidden power of the cell processor, just a bunch of bullshit.

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.

i don't think we ridicule it enough to be honest.

And right on cue teh powah of teh cloudez makes its rounds as the Xb one secret sauce. I am a bit worried that we're only cycling between DX12 and teh cloudez. What happened to the ESRAM secret sauce? It's less fun with that secret sauce missing from the Xb one is most powerful...potentially...cycle.

I miss the second GPU rumours the most :(

A SECOND GPU, HIDDEN IN THE SHADOW OF THE FIRST!


Darn, turns out it was Naruto shadow cloning it the whole time. Lol.

I am really sorry for downtalking the glorious cloud!

Is that so? With DX12 doubling its output and the Cloud giving all that oomph, the One will be several times stronger than it actually is, it seems. I mean, come on, Cloud computing is handy and something for the future for sure but I recognize hyperbole when I see it.
You need hardware than can reconcile with the cloud and with the hardware being more or less basic PC fare this could be a big issue, it has to be able to run juxtaposed threads and processes on its own, otherwise it'll be more like having a 1Gbit/s download speed on a computer from the mid 90's (bus speeds and HD spin wouldn't have been able to keep up as a direct recipient and contributor to the overall process).

Cloud computing will offer amazing advantages and likely leaps in performance in a few years, but hardly on ordinary hardware like the one in the 8th gen consoles. So for me; a helping hand? Sure. 3 Xbox One's extra power in addition to the main unit? No way. If they mean potentially the power of three One's from Cloud computing in general as a process though; I'm on board with that, but not yet I think.



LOL....let us indoctrinate them into our cloud army.
