Gigabit (Gbit)
A gigabit is one billion bits, one eighth of a gigabyte. Memory chips (DRAM and flash dies) are specified in gigabits.
Symbol: Gbit
Quantity: amount of digital information
SI relation: 1 Gbit = 1000000000 bit (exact)
Derivation: 1 Gbit = 10⁹ bits.
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- DRAM and NAND flash chip densities
- Network data volumes
