5G gaming has been in the news lately on several fronts, over predictions of rapid growth, demonstrations in the field and potential for democratization by avoiding need for expensive equipment to obtain the required performance. There has also been activity on the testing front, reflecting the high demands of gaming for ultra-low latency, given sensitivity to even milliseconds of delay. It is the combination of 5G and cloud that promises the democratization and a new chapter in the long running gaming field. This is because the high-performance computing can be performed in the cloud while, providing the servers are sufficiently close, latency can be kept down to “local levels” over a 5G connection. This has just been demonstrated in Chile…
