About Zebibits
A zebibit (Zibit) = 2⁷⁰ bits ≈ 1.18 × 10²¹ bits (IEC 80000-13). Total world manufactured digital storage in 2023 (≈ 10,000 EB ≈ 80,000 Ebit) is ≈ 67,000× smaller than 1 Zibit. A 70-bit byte address space would address 2⁷⁰ bytes = 128 ZiB of memory - far beyond any foreseeable architecture. At projected HDD areal density (10¹² bits/cm²), 1 Zibit would require ≈ 10⁹ cm² ≈ the area of Iceland. 1 Zibit = 2⁷⁰ bits = 128 EiB.
About Gigabits
A gigabit (Gbit) = 10⁹ bits (SI). 1 Gbit/s Ethernet (1000BASE-T) is the enterprise baseline; 10/25/100/400 Gbit/s are data-centre standards. Bus speeds: PCIe 4.0 ×16 = 256 Gbit/s; Thunderbolt 4 = 40 Gbit/s; HDMI 2.1 = 48 Gbit/s. NVMe SSDs: PCIe 4 ≈ 57 Gbit/s; PCIe 5 > 112 Gbit/s. Submarine cables: 200 Gbit/s per wavelength × hundreds of wavelengths. 1 Gbit = 10⁹ bits = 125 MB.
