Gigabyte expanded BIOS support across its Z790, B760 and H610 motherboard families on October 13, 2026. According to GIGABYTE, the update extends compatibility with future processors on the LGA1700 platform and covers both DDR4 and DDR5 boards.

What does the update change?

The announcement gives owners of existing boards a broader upgrade route. Gigabyte said the new BIOS files are available across the full Z790, B760 and H610 lineup, allowing users to prepare for supported processors without replacing the motherboard.

The timing matters because the company is shifting beyond traditional PC components toward AI infrastructure. On October 6, 2026, Gigabyte presented the AI TOP ATOM and the W775-V10 workstation at an Abu Dhabi event. The W775-V10 was described as delivering up to 20 PFLOPS of FP4 performance, according to MarketScreener.

What does the revenue surge mean for margins?

Gigabyte's September revenue reached TWD 63.10 billion, up 125.44 percent from a year earlier, while third-quarter revenue reached TWD 154.71 billion, up 94.41 percent year over year. UAnalyze reported that the figures reflected strong AI server demand and exceeded its earlier September revenue estimate by 8.20 percent.

The operating test is profitability. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue rose 37.20 percent from the prior quarter to TWD 144.21 billion, but gross margin fell from 12.01 percent to 9.62 percent and operating margin declined from 7.06 percent to 5.63 percent. Net income still increased 25.40 percent quarter over quarter to TWD 6.61 billion, with earnings per share of TWD 9.86, according to UAnalyze.

Three recent operating signals

On September 30, 2026, Gigabyte introduced the AI TOP 100 B850 desktop with one NVIDIA RTX 5090 card or two AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 cards, according to UAnalyze. On October 6, 2026, the company showcased a workstation offering up to 20 PFLOPS. The October 13 BIOS release then extended support across three motherboard families.

Upgrade path meets AI demand

For investors, the contrast is clear: Gigabyte is widening its hardware platform while AI server revenue accelerates, but the second-quarter margin decline makes product mix and cash conversion central to the next results cycle.
