About Kilobits
A kilobit (kbit) = 1,000 bits (SI). Standard unit for connection speeds: dial-up 9.6-56 kbit/s; ISDN 64-128 kbit/s; early ADSL 256 kbit/s. VoIP codecs: G.711 = 64 kbit/s; Opus (WhatsApp, Discord) = 6-510 kbit/s adaptive. Bluetooth LE up to 1,000 kbit/s; Zigbee/Z-Wave 20-250 kbit/s. 'kbit/s' = strictly decimal 1,000 bits/s (ITU/IEEE). 1 kbit = 1,000 bits = 125 bytes.
About Gibibytes
A gibibyte (GiB) = 2³⁰ = 1,073,741,824 bytes (IEC 80000-13). The source of the 'storage discrepancy': a '500 GB' drive contains 500×10⁹ bytes ≈ 465.66 GiB as shown by Windows. RAM is manufactured in exact powers of 2: 4/8/16/32/64 GiB. GPU VRAM: RTX 4090 = 24 GiB; H100 = 80 GiB; MI300X = 192 GiB HBM3. Kubernetes memory limits use Gi suffixes. 1 GiB = 2³⁰ bytes = 1,024 MiB.
