Gigabyte's Jiga Unveils First Wave of AMD EPYC 9006 Servers, Mass Production to Begin in November

Gigabyte (2376-TW), through its subsidiary Jiga, announced today (24th) the full support of its server product line for the 6th generation AMD EPYC server processors, further expanding its system portfolio designed for high-load workloads. Jiga Technology made its debut at the AMD Advancing AI 2026 exhibition in San Francisco, unveiling its first server supporting the new AMD EPYC 9006 platform, with mass production and shipment scheduled to begin in November 2026.

Jiga stated that the 6th generation AMD EPYC server processors adopt a dual-socket strategy to meet the diverse workload demands of modern data centers. The larger SP7 socket delivers flagship performance for the era of autonomous agent AI, featuring industry-leading memory bandwidth and PCIe Gen 6 connectivity.

The SP8 socket, on the other hand, targets high density, providing efficient horizontal scalability. Both sockets can be equipped with AMD's high-performance 'Zen6' cores or high-density 'Zen6c' cores, offering flexible adaptation to various deployment architectures.

For both SP7 and SP8 sockets, Jiga Technology offers a complete server product portfolio, including rack-level, blade, GPU, and edge servers, precisely matching the workloads associated with each socket. For the SP7 socket, Gigabyte's product line introduces several key new models.

The new R165-DG2-CS1 is a single-socket rack server with a closed-loop cooling design, supporting up to 256 cores on the SP7 platform at maximum power consumption within a compact 1U chassis. The B685-D80-LS1 is a 6U, 10-node blade server with direct liquid cooling, specifically designed for high-density HPC deployments.

Jiga announced that the 9006 SP7 systems will begin shipping in November 2026, simultaneously with AMD; the 9006 SP8 systems will begin shipping in March 2027.

Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Computing and Enterprise AI at AMD, stated, "AMD's enterprise AI technology has become a trusted foundation for modern data centers. The 6th Gen AMD EPYC server processors further elevate performance, efficiency, and scalability, continuing to lead the industry."

Dan McNamara added, "As enterprises continue to expand cloud, HPC, virtualization, and AI workloads, EPYC processors provide a solid foundation for AI performance, infrastructure integration, and innovation, while continuing to deliver industry-leading general-purpose computing performance that supports critical business applications running every day."

Hou Chih-Jen, General Manager of Jiga, said, "Autonomous agent AI and other enterprise AI deployments are creating unprecedented demand for data centers, driving an urgent market pursuit for more powerful new solutions."

Hou Chih-Jen mentioned, "The server platform newly designed for the AMD EPYC 9006 series processors has been completely re-engineered from motherboard layout, power delivery, to cooling design, ensuring customers receive Gigabyte servers with high core density, compact space configuration, and uncompromised performance. Whether for large-scale AI clusters or edge deployments, the 6th Gen AMD EPYC servers designed by Jiga can run at full speed from day one."
