Well, you're joking, but the entire RAM industry still lists their chips in Gb (gigaBITS) to avoid confusion.

32 Gb ram chip = 4 GiB of RAM.

That's still wrong and you've solved nothing. 32 Gb = 32 000 000 000 bits = 4 000 000 000 bytes = 4 GB (real SI gigabytes).

If you think 32 Gb are binary gibibits, then you've disagreed with Ethernet (e.g. 2.5 Gb/s), Thunderbolt (e.g. 40 Gb/s), and other communication standards.

That's why I keep hammering on the same point: Creating context-dependent prefixes sows endless confusion. The only way to stop the confusion is to respect the real definitions.

It's not wrong. It's the standard definition for that industry.

>>nayuki+q4
Damn you're right. It's double-confusing now.
