About Gigabits

A gigabit (Gbit) = 10⁹ bits (SI). 1 Gbit/s Ethernet (1000BASE-T) is the enterprise baseline; 10/25/100/400 Gbit/s are data-centre standards. Bus speeds: PCIe 4.0 ×16 = 256 Gbit/s; Thunderbolt 4 = 40 Gbit/s; HDMI 2.1 = 48 Gbit/s. NVMe SSDs: PCIe 4 ≈ 57 Gbit/s; PCIe 5 > 112 Gbit/s. Submarine cables: 200 Gbit/s per wavelength × hundreds of wavelengths. 1 Gbit = 10⁹ bits = 125 MB.

About Mebibytes

A mebibyte (MiB) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576 bytes (IEC 80000-13). Windows/older macOS report sizes in MiB but label them 'MB'. Linux malloc and kernel pages are power-of-2 aligned. Docker images: Alpine base 5 MiB; Ubuntu 72 MiB. Linux kernel bzImage 8-12 MiB. NVIDIA RTX 4090: 24 GiB GDDR6X in 2-GiB binary chunks. 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes = 1,024 KiB.
