Byte is always 8bit. Word is usually the minimum addressable unit in the memory. If the memory is byte addressable, then word == byte and in that case 128kByte == 128 KWord. However if the memory is 16 bit addressable, 1 word = 2 bytes.

Can you please provide more details on which processor are you referring to?
