Sony has found a way to stream games with less latency than a ps5 according to mark cerny

Why would he say that to the CMA? Keep it a secret and get that patent so Microsoft pays you forever!!!!
Lol, I'm sure Cerny already submitted it if they don't have it already. They have so many cloud gaming patents from Gaikai and OnLive that they're well positioned to be market leader if streaming takes off. Also keep in mind Cerny was really impressed by Haven's cloud tech, which is one of the reasons they acquired them.
Nah, that statement tears a hole in the argument that the cloud market has no potential due to technological issues and shouldn't be protected or used as a reason to block the deal.

I think that's actually nvidia. They have a lot of investment into predictive image generation so I could definitely see them working on a solution that basically used AI trained GPU resources to predict user input and generate frames and send them ahead of the actual game state predictively, like DLSS3. I think you'd still need like <50ms ping to server but I think it's feasible.
I doubt Cerny was in talk with CMA.
It just twitter assumption lol
BTW when the doc says rival... it is in Cloud market rival... it can not even be Sony.

That is fine and just a rumor.
Now using a quote from CMA's doc talking about a Rival in Cloud Gaming Services and related to Sony plus Cerny is really jumping conclusions.
The picture text can means any other company.
Sony already patented several optimizations on this area, so MS already pays them for using them. Some of these latency improvements are related to using 5G antennas as let's say a 'cache'.
Most of the latency comes from lost packets needed to be sent again. Most of the times, these packets are lost very close to the player, so having these 'caches' very close to the player means that the time spent on asking to send again the lost packet first and receiving it is way faster gets highly reduced. So the latency gets highly reduced.
Basically applying edge computing adapted to cloud gaming but in 5G antennas.
And well, this is only one patent to reduce latency. I remember that in recent years they filled multiple ones.
I think the reasoning of mention that to CMA is to say: "hey, we have been building or success by innovating. These fuckers simply use all this technology and techniques we invented and pay us for using these patents, and spend their money on stealing part of our catalog instead of in R&D to innovate and improve their product"
The 'better latency than playing locally by using a better GPU in the server' quote may come from Nvidia, since in the case of Sony the GPU in the server is a normal GPU, while in the case of Nvidia their main point is to allow you to play in a potato PC games running in max settings on a top tier GPU stored in their servers. And well, to really be the case you must have a top tier internet connection, to live next to their servers and have a trully awful local GPU in your pc. I think the Twitter user simply made a -probably wrong- personal guess that it was Cerny/Sony.

I’m still under the impression that cloud services wouldn’t just mean streaming games but could offload various game functions to the cloud.
It has huge potential if that’s the case and should be protected from handing all such infrastructure and services to Microsoft.

This is essentially what the metaverse concept is built on. A megacorporation that owns all the hardware and software and leases out portions of it to its userbase and skims off the top on transactions inside. They basically want to become kingdoms unto themselves and be the kings.
PlayStation Studios' Cloud Technology to Improve Now That Haven Deal is Official - PlayStation LifeStyle
Haven Studios will help improve cloud technology for consoles and games now they're officially part of PlayStation Studios.

An online only game can heavily be assisted by cloud functions. Irrelevant data and images not needed to be stored on console and minimizing file sizes.
There’s so much potential that while I do not buy cloud game streaming at all whatsoever to think it offers no benefit is naive.
