Talk:Gibibit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Discussion about centralization took place at Talk:Binary prefix.

Right, according to the article there is a clear distinction between 10 to the power 9 and 2 to the power 30, while they are stated as equivalent in the table. Why is this?

Balenman

The table does not say that 109 is equivalent to 230; rather, it says that "gigabit" is either 109 or 230 (because "gigabit" is ambiguous) and that "gigabit" is related to "gibibit".

[edit] history?

I've done quite a bit of computer science, and almost remember hearing about these units. Might be nice to include on the page a bit about where and when (and whom) they came from. I have no recollection, and I kinda missed the info.

Just my $0.02
