About the gigabyte per second and the gigabit per second
Gigabytes per second is used for NVMe SSD, memory and GPU bandwidth. One GB/s equals 8 Gbps.
Gigabits per second is used for fiber internet, Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6 link rates. One Gbps is 1,000 Mbps.
One gigabyte per second is 8 times the size of one gigabit per second, so it takes fewer gigabytes per second than gigabits per second to express the same amount.

Gigabytes per second to gigabits per second FAQ
How many gigabits per second are in one gigabyte per second?
One gigabyte per second equals exactly 8 gigabits per second. In the other direction, one gigabit per second equals 0.125 gigabytes per second.
How do I convert gigabytes per second to gigabits per second without a calculator?
convert 512 gigabytes per second to gigabits per second. Using gigabits per second ← gigabytes per second × 8, we get 512 × 8 = 4,096 Gbps. To check the result, convert back: 4,096 Gbps ÷ 8 = 512 GB/s. For a quick estimate, round the factor to 8. Then 512 GB/s is about 4,096 Gbps, compared with the exact 4,096 Gbps (an error of 0%). That is close enough for planning, but use the calculator above when the number matters.
What is wi-Fi 6 top link rate in gigabits per second?
Wi-Fi 6 top link rate is about 1.2 gigabytes per second, which is 9.6 gigabits per second. Treat that as an approximate everyday figure rather than an official measurement.
Are the gigabytes per second and gigabits per second the same in every country?
One GB/s equals exactly 8 Gbps. One Gbps is exactly 1,000 Mbps (decimal prefixes are used for network speeds).
