About Kibibits

A kibibit (Kibit) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bits (IEC 80000-13) - the binary counterpart to the kilobit. Defined to eliminate ambiguity between 1,000-bit and 1,024-bit 'kilobits'. Used in FPGA/ASIC block RAM sizing (a 32 Kibit block RAM = 4,096 bytes) and JEDEC DRAM specs. RSA key lengths (e.g. '4096-bit') are exact counts, unaffected by the kib/kb distinction. 1 Kibit = 1,024 bits = 128 bytes.

About Yobibits

A yobibit (Yibit) = 2⁸⁰ bits ≈ 1.21 × 10²⁴ bits (IEC 80000-13, 2008). An 80-bit physical address space would provide 2⁸⁰ bytes = 128 YiB of byte-addressable memory - physically preposterous by any current forecast. World manufactured storage in 2023 ≈ 10 ZB ≈ 0.00828 Yibit. A 267-qubit quantum register has a state space of 2²⁶⁷ ≈ 1 Yibit in bits. IEC 2022 added 'ronbi' (Ri, 2⁹⁰) and 'quetti' (Qi, 2¹⁰⁰) for theoretical future use. 1 Yibit = 2⁸⁰ bits = 128 ZiB.
