Nvidia launches a game streaming service

There's this pesky little thing known as the speed of light.

I mean, even if they were to do the absurd thing of "render X possible futures, send you all of them, have client pick the "best" one", that only reduces general latency, not worse-case latency - and you cannot keep increasing X as bandwidth is not infinite (and their server power is not infinite either). Worst-case latency being (RTT + render time), which is going to be at least RTT. And worse-case latency is what you tend to notice, at least at these timescales.

Will it potentially be useful for those who live close to a datacenter? Sure. (I question the economics of it from a consumer perspective. But that is another matter.) But is it a general technique? No. For example: I have a ping to Google of ~200ms at home. As such, worse-case latency is >=200ms. (Well, again, depends on where the data centers are. But I'm assuming that Google has pretty good datacenters. And almost all of that latency is coming from the "last mile" in my case, which could change.) Are you going to notice 1/5 of a second delay in a FPS? Probably enough to not consider it smooth and fluid anymore. Related: I at one point got annoyed at a projector over Super Hexagon - kept overcompensating - and measured the delay against my laptop's display and found a delay of ~5 frames over and above my laptop. Admittedly, SH is a twitch-based game - but when you're turning / etc in a FPS you want much the same same frame precision. An extra 200ms isn't exactly going to be unnoticeable.

Most reviews say really good things about it. Not just performance wise but overall device is been praised by most reviewers.

Apart from getting hot and okay-ish battery everything else of that tablet is said to be great.
