About Gibibytes per second

Gibibyte per second (GiB/s) = 2³⁰ B/s (IEC 80000-13). Precision unit for STREAM benchmark and LIKWID memory bandwidth measurements. Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 dual-socket STREAM ≈ 400 GiB/s. RTX 4090 GDDR6X = 1,008 GB/s ≈ 939 GiB/s. PCIe 5.0 ×16 = 64 GB/s ≈ 59.6 GiB/s. AMD EPYC Infinity Fabric (4-socket) ≈ 576 GiB/s cross-die. 1 GiB/s = 2³⁰ B/s = 8 Gibit/s.

About Exabits per second

Exabit per second (Ebit/s) = 10¹⁸ bit/s (SI). Theoretical: Shannon limit for a single-mode fibre over 50 THz optical bandwidth ≈ 100 Pbit/s - still ~10,000× below 1 Ebit/s. Reaching 1 Ebit/s would require ≈1 million parallel fibres each at 1 Pbit/s. Global internet backbone installed capacity in 2024 ≈ 5-10 Pbit/s. 1 Ebit/s = 10¹⁸ bit/s = 125 PB/s.
