Is Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot the same thing?

This is another example of MS branding that is clear as mud. Skype vs. Skype for Business, Visual Studio vs. Visual Studio Code vs. Visual Studio for Mac, OneNote vs. OneNote for Windows 10...

To my knowledge, each one of the products in this list is a completely different beast despite naming similarities.

Came here to say the same. I would expect that you'd want to be able to expand to at least 64GB and probably even more if you want to target the AI market.

The AI is the least interesting part of this announcement. Microsoft is giving ARM another try with a special branding that's supposed to guarantee some level of performance and quality. That's possibly huge news.

Think it’s worth mentioning that their Qualcomm exclusive windows laptop deal ends soon and this should allow AMD and NVIDIA to ramp up (arm) windows laptop cpus soon within the next few years.

I suspect that there will be a LOT of TPU e-waste in about 3-5 years. One can call me reactionary, but I see a greater benefit in providing SIMD primitives for known bottlenecks, co-processing for known inner loops, than to continually jump through the hoop of committing passing trends to hardware.

I suspect thst Microsoft will implement brilliantly on a bad idea, but that it still won't gain much traction, as Co-pilot is not the code assistant we need.

But since hammers are in fashion, expect attempts to shoehorn the world into nails.
