Eight-digit grouping (4)

I believe the answer is:

byte

(Other definitions for byte that I've seen before include "Unit of (PC) memory" , "Unit of data storage in computer" , "Computing unit" , "Unit of memory storage in computer" , "Computer's unit of stored memory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
