The IBM 701 vacuum tube computer was announced May 21, 1952. It had 2K words 36 bits long (~9K bytes) of Williams Tube CRT DRAM.
How many KB is a vacuum tube?
Kilobytes and vacuum tubes are not in the same category. At best, a twin triode vacuum tube is a single flip-flop and can hold 1 bit of information, making a vacuum tube about 0.000122 of a kilobyte.
