About Mebibits per second

Mebibit per second (Mibit/s) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576 bit/s (IEC 80000-13). Used in FPGA-to-memory interface specs and JEDEC memory bus timing documents where bit rates are derived from 2ⁿ clock frequencies. A 100 MHz 8-bit parallel bus = 800 Mibit/s. Contrasted with Mbit/s (= 10⁶ bit/s). 1 Mibit/s = 1,048,576 bit/s ≈ 131 KB/s.

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.
