Earlier this year AMD gave a demo of their "Fusion Render Cloud". An AMD Supercomputer will deliver Next-Generation Games and Applications entirely through the Cloud.The supercomputer itself will have more than 1000 Graphic processors and is designed to break the one petaFLOPS barrier !!
The “AMD Fusion Render Cloud” is designed to run HD content over the Internet (or cloud) through your web browser. You can watch HD movies and run games, all through your web browser.
You no longer would need to have high end graphic processors and storage drives on your computers to play graphically intensive games and watch HD content, you would be able to do this by simply using a thin client with a browser.

For HD content, wouldn't you still have to have a rather large buffer for streaming content? Just thinking, since it's going to be rendering the video external to your machine, but it's still going to have to transfer it to you, since something like 1080p is going to be a large file, even in chunks.
