Do we know if that's the same as this?

I would be very surprised if it was. Last I'd heard IronRuby was mostly dead, and I'm sure it wasn't written to fit this new "dynamic language runtime" Microsoft has announced. I'd wager they co-opted the name from Wilco and are running with their own internal implementation.

No, it is derived from RubyCLR by John Lam:

I don't believe it is derived from RubyCLR. Apparently it is a new
implementation of Ruby using some of the core of IronPython and was in
development before John Lam arrived at Microsoft.
Tim Heuer has a video interview with John that goes into more detail about
the Ruby version and the Dynamic Language Runtime. Good stuff.

I suspect it's a merge between IronRuby and RubyCLR. Remember John Lam
(author of RubyCLR) now works for Microsoft, along side Jim Huginin(?)
of IronPython and Jython fame.
I can't wait for the day when I can fully use RSpec for both Java and
.NET projects.

It's definitely not derived from RubyCLR, since that was just a bridge to the C implementation of Ruby (MRI) and this is a CLR-native implementation.
I'll bet anyone a beer it's all new code, unrelated to Wilco's IronRuby and John's RubyCLR (and even Queensland University's Ruby.NET).
