A typical PC might have 8 Gigabytes (GB) of RAM, or 8,000,0000,000 bytes, with each byte enough space to store a single letter or a number from 0-255. A microcontroller would have only Kilobytes (KB) of RAM, with a kilobyte being 1,000 bytes.

The diagram below shows the relative size difference between 192KB and 8GB - the small dot in the center represents 192KB.
