Intelligo, a MediaTek-backed chip designer that specializes in voice and sound processing, expects double-digit sales growth next year — a positive sign for the edge AI supply chain even as consumer gadget demand stays weak.

• Demand for AI that runs directly on devices is lifting sales of phone, laptop, headphone and game console chips.
• Rising costs from suppliers mean the company plans to raise prices with customers.
• Its noise-cancelling and AI audio tools are going into new Japanese and Chinese phone models, and a top European headphone brand starts production at year end.
• Switch 2 chip shipments keep growing, and orders for 2027 still look good.
• The laptop side is the soft spot: memory chip shortages and higher laptop prices could slow the second half.

Outlook: Third-quarter sales should beat the second quarter, with new customers and wider adoption pushing revenue to a fresh high next year.
