Wow. Samsung Innovation is truly big!
But how big in mebibytes?
Those are different systems, though, with gigabytes measured in powers of 1,024 and gibibytes in powers of 1,000.
They got those backwards! The whole concept hinges on this, and they flipped the values! Sometimes I love tech writers.
Backward indeed! I’ve always found the Wikipedia chart helpful.
Wait, they’re just lying in a different place now.

Iook I’m not a tech person, I always thought 1 gig was 1024 megabytes?
What is a GiB? I’ve seen it but always wondered.

@skullgiver @LaughingFox It’s not programmer laziness at all, RAM modules’ size has to be of a power of 2 on most platforms because of various assumptions the CPU makes in memory alignment and memory bulk reads for performance reasons. Processors don’t interact directly with the flash dies, so it’s fine for them to be of the size they feel like provided the controller knows what it’s doing.
