They showed a prototype of a destructible environment running on two machines, one of them bolstered by T3H CLOUD. It's a pretty simple demo: the solo machine dips to a couple frames per second when they start blowing up the buildings, and the other machine keeps at the starting 32FPS. No ETA on when we might see the technology come to us consumers, but it's nice to see the progress.

Seriously, I would prefer to have my performance locally. Cloud computing is a step in the right direction for the future, but honestly I see another dream cast on our hands but worse. Cloud works only if two major things happen. The company has server farms dedicated to cloud storage and processing. In this case check. It also requires a stable internet speed. Honestly, I doubt that the US internet standard speed of less than 1 mbs can support the network. Its almost like having a GTX 780 with a cpu capable of less than 1ghz. Slow norm internet will cancel out almost any benefit cloud computing can accomplish.
