About Nibbles

A nibble is exactly 4 bits = half a byte, representing 2⁴ = 16 values - one hexadecimal digit (0-F). Used in BCD encoding (each decimal digit = 1 nibble; 2 nibbles per byte packs two BCD digits), financial/mainframe packed-decimal formats, and CSS hex colours (#RRGGBB = 2 nibbles per channel). 4-bit processors (Intel 4004, TI TMS1000) processed one nibble per cycle. 1 nibble = 4 bits = 0.5 bytes.

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.
