About Kilobytes per second
Kilobyte per second (KB/s) = 1,000 B/s = 8,000 bit/s (SI). Legacy modem throughput: 56 kbit/s dial-up ≈ 7 KB/s; ISDN 128 kbit/s = 16 KB/s. RS-232 at 115,200 baud (8N1) = 11.52 KB/s. CD-ROM 1× = 150 KB/s; 52× = 7,800 KB/s. Bluetooth 2.1 EDR ≈ 300 KB/s; USB 1.1 Full Speed = 1,500 KB/s. 1 KB/s = 1,000 B/s = 8 kbit/s.
About Gibibits per second
Gibibit per second (Gibit/s) = 2³⁰ = 1,073,741,824 bit/s (IEC 80000-13). Preferred over Gbit/s in JEDEC DDR memory bandwidth specs: DDR5-4800 single channel = 38,400 MB/s = 307,200 Mbit/s ≈ 293 Gibit/s. HBM3 per stack = 819 Gbit/s ≈ 763 Gibit/s. LINPACK and memory benchmark literature may use Gibit/s for precision. 1 Gibit/s = 2³⁰ bit/s = 128 MiB/s.
