Intel
Score: 79.8
Intel won top grades in the three main areas of technical satisfaction, support satisfaction and financial factors, no surprise given its practice of growing technical and channel investments by significant amounts year after year. Intel was rated higher than rival Advanced Micro Devices in almost every category, a nod to the chip giant’s deep product lineup and traditionally strong market penetration. Its biggest edge against the competition was in product reliability and quality, and came as the company ramped up its Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 product platforms.
