Data Storage Units Comparison

Bits and Bytes

The fundamental relationship between bits and bytes:

1 byte=8 bits1 \text{ byte} = 8 \text{ bits}

Data Bus Width

The number of bits a processor moves per cycle depends on the architecture:

Architecture Data Moved per Cycle
8-bit 1 byte
16-bit 2 bytes
32-bit 4 bytes
64-bit 8 bytes

The relationship between processor bits and bytes moved follows:

Bytes per cycle=Bus width (bits)8\text{Bytes per cycle} = \frac{\text{Bus width (bits)}}{8}
