Aspeed Technology Inc (信驊), a supplier of baseboard management controllers (BMCs), expects revenue to grow significantly this year and next year, chairman Chris Lin (林鴻明) said yesterday, citing skyrocketing server demand as agentic artificial intelligence (AI) applications such as OpenClaw gain traction. The company has secured big orders from customers, Lin said on the sidelines of the Computex Taipei trade show. It is rare for customers to place such large-scale orders so early, he said.

“Compared with the shipment forecast provided by customers at the end of last year, the volume doubled in January,” Lin said, linking it to the adoption of agentic AI applications and the OpenClaw craze. “General-purpose servers and AI servers show strong momentum,” he said.
