@MrWhosetheboss video reveals Google's Pixel 8 Pro Tensor G3 off-loads all generative AI tasks to the cloud - Lemmy.World

Isn’t that kinda the dream. We have devices that remote the os. So we get a super powerful device that keeps getting updated and upgraded. We just need a receiver ?

Isn’t that what we want. Can reduce down the bulk on devices. Just a slab with battery, screen and modem and soc that can power the remote application ?

I mean it sucks for offline situations or for actions that need very good latency.

But the phone’s battery would be happier if the processing is not done locally.

For some things I prefer to do the stuff locally, for other things on the cloud.

For example (examples not related to the Pixel) if I’m generating an image with stable diffusion at home I prefer to use my RX 6800 on my private local Linux rather than a cloud computer with a subscription.

But if I had to do the same on a mobile phone with tiny processing power and battery capacity I’d prefer to do it on the cloud.

Funny you should say that. I’m basing this on GeForce which I use exclusively. It runs games from the cloud. I play Valhalla on my TV. I love rural and don’t have don’t have fibre.

Yes you read that. No fibre.

I recently got starlink and have been loving life. Living on a farm playing GeForce games. I loved stadia and bought into the whole thing. Raged that they cancelled it. But I got my money’s worth.

Now it’s not perfect but I live in rural NZ. So I have streaming to Aus to use GeForce since GeForce isn’t native to NZ.

It’s insane how good this cloud gaming is.

So fuck Google but first company to get a phone running on remote I will be buying

I mean I didn’t mean it to be funny…so apologies if you took it as a joke.

But basically I just meant that I prefer (for gaming) to run the game locally than on a cloud. I barely tried remote gaming. I tried on WLAN the one from steam but only for 5 minutes. Then I tried PS Remote play last week streaming FF16 (just for testing) to my steam deck running W11 but at the home I was there was not enough bandwidth.

Yeah nah. You ain’t getting anything like this. Nobody who plays that kinda high level would be Happy with cloud. I’m trying to live on the cheap and since I’m nomad with no house or fixed abode.

Yoid not get that can off power from GeForce. You can’t really play any competition games as latency would be too high.

I suggest everyone gives it a go as it’s been great for me. But we need more people involved and more competition. If it’s just GeForce then they can price it through the roof with no improvements

I’ll definitely give it a shot. At least to the ones I have at home (the one from steam that uses my desktop and the one from the PS5).

I think everyone playing with it would be good. Can force them to work for the consumers and not just give us what is cheap or best for them.

Cloud works well for me as I don’t need the best graphics and can’t really justify buying an expensive console. Especially with how good GeForce has been. Tried Luna and it was honest just as good. Sat on my lawn playing ac origins. Was glorious
