Come on, AnandTech! 3840GB != 3.84TB -- that's mixing binary and decimal systems. Say either 3840GB or 3840/1024 = 3.75TB.

- btgeekboy 8y agoThey are correct here. TB is for decimal, TiB is for binary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
- TazeTSchnitzel 8y agoThe problem is that “GB” in the context of RAM specifically invariably means 1024^3 bytes, i.e. GiB. To then use that definition of TB here, you're mixing 1000 and 1024 denominations.
- ScottBurson 8y agoNo. Their "GB" numbers are actually GiB; DRAM always uses binary units because it's addressed in binary. (Maybe if they used the correct suffix, they wouldn't have made the error.)
- AngryData 8y ago"In 1998, the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC introduced the binary prefixes kibi, mebi, gibi" But that hasn't stopped anyone because when talking about computers and data storage, unless you got some wacky old russian terenary system running in some bunker, everything should always be expressed using a base 2 system.
