From banking to health services, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) keeps expanding its footprint across more and more industries. Well, come Tuesday, the tech giant is all set to disrupt the $130 billion global video gaming market with the much-anticipated launch of Stadia, a platform that allows users to play video games on a plethora of devices by connecting to Google’s state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure – where the physical rendering of games takes place – coupled with the utilization of streaming technology.

Google’s Stadia is equipped with Intel’s server-grade CPU, a GPU based on AMD’s Vega, 16 GBs of shared HBM2 memory, and an SSD. These specs allow the platform to stream games at 4K resolution and a frame rate of 60 FPS coupled with HDR and 5.1 surround sound support. Google claims that Stadia offers a theoretical computing power of 10.7 teraflops, thereby, exceeding the aggregate computing power of PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. Moreover, Google also plans to upgrade its datacenter hardware to eventually provide support for gaming at 8K resolution and 120 FPS.
