I agree for big world far away rendering, or maybe behind the scenes stuff, but the problem with the cloud is latency.
It would never work for stuff you are staring right at, as the delay would be significant enough to notice, and it is the stuff you look at that tends to matter in terms of graphical prowess.
I'll likely buy a One in a few years, and at that point some creative cloud things might be happening, but right now it is just a gimmick.
And Hemi is right about the amount of power and bandwidth any useful calculations would take. SimCity took weeks to fix what is essentially resource sharing between cities which compared to rendering complex graphics or running intense calculations is child's play.
