Kibibits per second (Kibit/s)
Gigabytes per second (GB/s)

Conversion Formula

GB/s = Kibit/s × 1.280000000e-7

About Kibibits per second

Kibibit per second (Kibit/s) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bit/s (IEC 80000-13). The binary-precise counterpart to kbit/s for contexts with power-of-2 bus widths. FPGA serial transceivers are clocked at exact powers of 2; embedded UART baud rates sometimes use 1,024-baud increments. Contrasted with kbit/s (= 1,000 bit/s) in ITU/IEEE standards. 1 Kibit/s = 1,024 bit/s = 128 B/s.

About Gigabytes per second

Gigabyte per second (GB/s) = 10⁹ B/s (SI). Dominant unit for memory bandwidth and GPU interconnects. DRAM: Intel i9-13900K DDR5 = 89.6 GB/s; AMD EPYC Genoa 8-channel = 460.8 GB/s. H100 HBM3 = 3,350 GB/s; RTX 4090 GDDR6X = 1,008 GB/s. PCIe 5.0 ×16 = 128 GB/s. HPC Lustre on Frontier ≈ 5,000 GB/s aggregate. 100 Gbit/s Ethernet = 12.5 GB/s. 1 GB/s = 10⁹ B/s = 8 Gbit/s.
