GIGABYTE Technology, officially registered as GIGA-BYTE Technology Co., Ltd., is a Taiwanese multinational computer hardware manufacturer best known for its high-performance motherboards, graphics cards, gaming laptops, monitors, servers and AI computing solutions. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan, the company has grown into one of the world’s leading PC hardware brands, serving consumers, gamers, content creators, businesses and data centres in over 100 countries.1

For decades, GIGABYTE has been recognised for engineering reliable PC components and introducing innovations in motherboard design, cooling technologies and gaming hardware. Its corporate philosophy, “Upgrade Your Life,” reflects its goal of providing technology that enhances productivity, creativity, gaming and enterprise computing.2

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