Gigabyte Technology Co (技嘉) expects strong order visibility for its artificial intelligence (AI) servers to extend to next year, as major customers begin planning their new spending, chairman Dandy Yeh (葉培城) said after the company’s annual general meeting in Taoyuan’s Jhongli District (中壢) yesterday.“All aspects of the business are moving in a positive direction at this stage,” Yeh said, adding that the company’s revenue growth this year could outpace last year’s pace. Shareholders yesterday approved proposals to distribute cash dividends of NT$12 per share, representing a payout ratio of 65.93 percent based on the company’s earnings per share of NT$18.2 last year.

Gigabyte showcased its AI servers powered by Nvidia Corp’s graphics processors at the Computex trade show in Taipei last week. Regarding speculation that Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform could undergo specification changes due to a shortage of memory chips, Yeh said such adjustments are a normal part of new product development, which often involves specification refinements to address early-stage yield and power consumption issues.
