Gigabyte was established on April 30, 1986, during the rapid growth of Taiwan’s electronics industry. The company initially focused on designing and manufacturing motherboards for desktop computers. Through continuous investment in research and development, Gigabyte became one of the largest motherboard manufacturers globally, competing with brands such as ASUS, MSI, and ASRock. [3]

As the PC industry evolved, Gigabyte expanded into additional product categories including graphics cards, laptops, monitors, networking devices, storage solutions, and enterprise servers. In 2023, the company spun off its enterprise server business into a wholly owned subsidiary called Giga Computing, allowing greater focus on AI servers and data center infrastructure while continuing to use the Gigabyte brand.
