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 Yobibytes
A yobibyte (YiB) = 2⁸⁰ bytes ≈ 1.21 × 10²⁴ bytes (IEC 80000-13) - the largest named binary byte unit (2008 edition); 2022 revision added 'ronbi' (Ri, 2⁹⁰) and 'quetti' (Qi, 2¹⁰⁰). At HAMR areal density (10 Tbit/inch² projected by 2030), 1 YiB would require ≈ 6.24 million km² of magnetic platter surface - modestly exceeding the area of Australia. World total storage in 2023 ≈ 0.00848 YiB. 1 YiB = 2⁸⁰ bytes = 1,024 ZiB.
