Oct 10, 2026, 9:37 AMThe round trip time from me to the nearest Azure datacenter is around 10ms. This is fast enough that I can run a game on an Xbox that is running there and stream back the result. Every button press or other controller interaction goes via Bluetooth to a local machine, is encrypted, sent TLS encrypted to the datacentre, decrypted, processed on the target Xbox, then a frame is rendered, compressed (as video, with unidirectional interframe compression), encrypted, sent out over the network, decrypted at my end, sent over HDMI, and displayed. And this happens with low enough latency that I don’t notice that the game is not local.
The new computers are not the problem.
