Maybe we should go full 256 then.
"Premature optimization is the root of all evil."
We can jump to 128, and comfortably stay there until they fully sunset 64. Thinking about 256 right now skips over issues we haven't even addressed in 128 yet. For example: how can we get users to adopt Copilot and stop calling us "Microslop?"
64 bit systems aren't even 64 bit yet. Just recently we had the next stage of rollout pushing memory space sizes from 48 bit (256TiB) to 57 bit (128PiB).
I've never bought a computer with a "48 bit" sticker on it. I think you're getting ripped off.
