How much is an 8 Gbit DRAM chip in bytes?

  1. A1 GB
  2. B8 GB
  3. C64 GB
Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. 1 GB

One byte is 8 bits, so 8 Gbit ÷ 8 = 1 GB. Memory chip capacity is usually given in bits, while memory module capacity is usually given in bytes. For example, eight 8 Gbit chips make an 8 GB module.
