WTF I'm usually on top of most technology, but could someone please summarize how the hell this works :erm:

AMD Cloud Gaming

New AMD Radeon™ Sky Series graphics cards bring PC quaility gaming to your web enabled smart device

I've read the docs, but I must be blonde :p
 
OK, I though it might be something like this.

So the server can stream the same game to multiple users in single game / user mode or is it "multi-player" aware as well?
 
It's essentially the same as Steam's streaming.
You host the game on your primary machine and stream it to a less capable machine.
It works very well.

It could be both...

Basically, we will have a thin client or a low specced pc - as all the processing is done on the Game Server.
Obviously, its a moot point for us, as the data centre will need to be local and we would need better latency etc.
Should be fine for puzzle games etc - thou they are generally not graphic intensive in the first place.

An example of a Cloud Gaming service:

Damn - didn't realize they've localized it. How's the performance?
This would be perfect for me...

As I stated above, it works perfectly.
There's a tiny bit of lag but nothing overly noticeable.
I played Counter Strike & BF3 on an old Dual core laptop on High.
My main pc does all the processing essentially.
