512gb of unified memory is insane. The price will be outrageous but for AI enthusiasts it will probably be worth it.

Agreed, but do you pick the de-facto standard of the entire industry (minus storage advertising) or the de joure standard of an outside body that has made a very slight headway into a very resistant industry.

The reality is that people will be confused no matter what you do, but at least less people will be confused if you ignore the mibibyte, because less people have even heard of it

You pick neither, and enforce correct usage of both in advertised products. Tech people will adapt, and non-tech people will be confused regardless (they still confuse megabytes/sec and megabits/sec, and that's an 8x difference).

Agreed, I’d be entirely fine with legal enforcement of the ISO definitions in advertising, no need to air historical dirty laundry outside the profession
