Definisi
Bit adalah satuan terkecil informasi digital, mewakili 0 atau 1; byte adalah kelompok 8 bit yang mampu mewakili 256 nilai berbeda.
Penjelasan
Network speeds are quoted in bits per second (Mbps, Gbps), while file sizes use bytes (MB, GB)—a frequent source of confusion. A 100 Mbps internet connection transfers 100 megabits, or about 12.5 megabytes, per second. ASCII encodes each English character in 1 byte; a UTF-8 emoji typically requires 4 bytes. The 8-bit byte became standard in the 1960s with the IBM System/360.

Prefiks Biner
Prefiks biner (KiB, MiB, GiB) menyatakan pangkat 1024, berbeda dengan prefiks metrik SI (KB, MB, GB) yang menyatakan pangkat 1000.
Bandwidth
Kapasitas transfer data maksimum suatu saluran komunikasi, biasanya diukur dalam bit per detik (bps, Mbps, Gbps).
Latensi
Penundaan waktu antara pengiriman paket data dari sumber hingga diterima di tujuan, biasanya diukur dalam milidetik (ms).
Throughput
Laju aktual di mana data berhasil ditransfer melalui jaringan atau sistem dalam periode waktu tertentu, diukur dalam bit atau byte per detik.
Kecepatan Jam (Clock Speed)
Frekuensi di mana prosesor mengeksekusi siklus, diukur dalam hertz (Hz), dengan CPU modern beroperasi dalam kisaran gigahertz (GHz).
