A gibibit (Gib) is a unit of digital information equal to 230 bits, which is exactly 1,073,741,824 bits. It uses the binary prefix 'gibi-' established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The gibibit is closely related to the gigabit (Gb), which is defined using the decimal prefix 'giga-' (109 bits).
An exbibit (Eib) is a unit of digital information equal to 260 bits, which is 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bits. It uses the binary prefix 'exbi-' established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The exbibit is closely related to the exabit (Eb), which is defined using the SI decimal prefix 'exa-' as 1018 bits.
Note: The Gibibit is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Exbibit belongs to the imperial/US customary system.
History of the Gibibit and Exbibit
The prefix 'gibi-' (representing 230) was defined by the IEC in 1998 along with other binary prefixes (kibi-, mebi-, tebi-, etc.). This standardization aimed to eliminate the confusion caused by using SI prefixes (like kilo-, mega-, giga-) to denote both powers of 1000 (decimal) and powers of 1024 (binary) in computing contexts. The term 'gibibit' specifically refers to the 230 multiple of bits.
The prefix 'exbi-' (for 260) was established by the IEC in 1998, along with other binary prefixes (kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, tebi-, pebi-). This was done to resolve the ambiguity surrounding the use of SI prefixes (like kilo, mega, giga) to represent both powers of 1000 and powers of 1024 in digital information contexts. The term 'exbibit' specifically denotes the 260 multiple of bits, ensuring clarity in technical specifications. Its practical relevance grew with the need to precisely measure extremely large data capacities and transfers in binary terms.
Common Uses and Applications: gibibits vs exbibits
Explore the typical applications for both Gibibit (imperial/US) and Exbibit (imperial/US) to understand their common contexts.
Common Uses for gibibits
While less common in everyday usage than the gigabit (Gb) which is often used for network speeds (Gbps), the gibibit is important where binary precision is required:
- Specifying memory chip capacities at the bit level in technical documentation.
- Internal calculations within networking hardware or software that operate on binary multiples.
- Theoretical calculations in computer science, information theory, and data transmission analysis.
- Comparing binary (Gib) and decimal (Gb) data quantities accurately.
When to Use exbibits
Exbibits are used in highly technical fields where precise measurement of very large quantities of data based on powers of 2 is necessary. Common contexts include:
- Theoretical specifications for large-scale computer memory architectures.
- Advanced file system design and capacity reporting where binary multiples are standard.
- Specific large-scale scientific computing applications demanding exact binary measurements (e.g., massive simulations, data analysis).
- Technical documentation comparing binary and decimal data magnitudes at the exa-scale.
It is significantly less common in everyday language or consumer-facing specifications compared to the exabit (Eb) or exabyte (EB).
Additional Unit Information
About Gibibit (Gib)
How many bits are in a gibibit?
There are exactly 230 bits in 1 gibibit (Gib). This equals 1,073,741,824 bits.
How many mebibits (Mib) are in a gibibit (Gib)?
There are 1,024 mebibits (Mib) in 1 gibibit (Gib). This is because 1 Gib = 230 bits and 1 Mib = 220 bits, and 230 / 220 = 210 = 1,024.
What is the difference between a gibibit (Gib) and a gigabit (Gb)?
A gibibit (Gib) represents 230 bits (1,073,741,824 bits), using the binary prefix 'gibi-'. A gigabit (Gb) represents 109 bits (1,000,000,000 bits), using the decimal prefix 'giga-'. A gibibit is approximately 7.37% larger than a gigabit (1 Gib ≈ 1.074 Gb).
What is the difference between a gibibit (Gib) and a gibibyte (GiB)?
A gibibit (Gib) measures information in bits, while a gibibyte (GiB) measures information in bytes. Assuming the standard 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 gibibyte (GiB) is equal to 8 gibibits (Gib). Both use the binary prefix 'gibi-' (230).
About Exbibit (Eib)
How many bits are in an exbibit?
There are exactly 260 bits in 1 exbibit (Eib). This equals 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bits.
How many pebibits (Pib) are in an exbibit (Eib)?
There are 1,024 pebibits (Pib) in 1 exbibit (Eib). This is because 1 Eib = 260 bits and 1 Pib = 250 bits, and 260 / 250 = 210 = 1,024.
What is the difference between an exbibit (Eib) and an exabit (Eb)?
An exbibit (Eib) represents 260 bits (binary prefix), while an exabit (Eb) represents 1018 bits (decimal prefix). An exbibit is larger than an exabit, with 1 Eib ≈ 1.15 Eb.
What is the difference between an exbibit (Eib) and an exbibyte (EiB)?
An exbibit (Eib) measures information in bits, whereas an exbibyte (EiB) measures information in bytes. Assuming the standard 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 exbibyte (EiB) is equal to 8 exbibits (Eib). Both use the binary prefix 'exbi-' (260).
