Kibibits

The kibibit (Kibit) is a unit of digital information equal to exactly 1,024 bits (2¹⁰ bits), defined by the IEC in 1998 to resolve the ambiguity between decimal and binary interpretations of "kilo." It is used in precise technical contexts where binary measurement matters — particularly in hardware specifications and low-level software — to distinguish clearly from the decimal kilobit (1,000 bits).

Kibibytes

The kibibyte (KiB) is a unit of digital information equal to exactly 1,024 bytes (2¹⁰ bytes), defined by IEC 80000-13. It is the precise binary equivalent of what operating systems have historically called a "kilobyte." Memory chip capacities, CPU cache sizes, and file system block sizes are exactly described in kibibytes, while hard drive manufacturers use the decimal kilobyte (1,000 bytes) — the root cause of the persistent storage capacity discrepancy.
