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.

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.
