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 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.
