No, they use 1KB = 1000 B - which is the correct usage.
Tiny pedantic correction. The SI prefix is 'k' rather than 'K'. Plus there's a space between the quantity and the unit. So in SI it's 1 kB rather than 1KB
According to
1 KB would be using the JEDEC convention rather than SI and would mean 1024 bytes. Or would be a typo.
probably JEDED is using the old definition, not accepting the new one:
In December 2002 JEDEC, a leading standards organization in the microelectronics industry, mentioned the IEC prefixes in their Terms, Definitions, and Letter Symbols for Microcomputers, Microprocessors, and Memory Integrated Circuits document. This document defines "kilo," "mega," and "giga" with binary multipliers. A "Note" to this definition then states that that definition is only presented "to reflect common usage", and quotes the IEC in describing t
...
JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the semiconductor engineering standardization body of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), continues to include the customary binary definitions of kilo, mega and giga in their Terms, Definitions, and Letter Symbols document[58], and uses those definitions in later memory standards[59][61][62][63][60] (See also JEDEC memory standards.)
