Essential Security Usages for Corporate Fleets.
Intel evaluated 13 essential security use cases that define a modern enterprise security posture for PC fleets. Below: scoring methodology, head-to-head summary results, feature category scores, and 3rd-party studies — all in one continuous view.
Intel scored the features and security programs needed to achieve each use case and applied a consistent business criteria — measuring feature deployment reach, impact for IT, market demand, and implementation difficulty. Each category's score was normalized, and the percentage scores for Intel and AMD were calculated.
The feature-level infographic abstracts this comparison into five higher-level rollup categories, each containing several use case scores. The widest functional gap shows up in AI Security (+34 pts); the narrowest in Memory Protections (+12 pts).
Three lenses on the same data: aggregate gap +32 pts (78 vs 46) · average rollup gap +27 pts (5 categories) · widest single category +34 pts (AI Security).
The essential security usage categories that frame the entire analysis. Each category aggregates a set of features and business scoring criteria — together, they cover the full attack surface of a modern PC fleet.
Every category in the analysis maps to one or more layers of the platform stack. The deeper the protection lives, the harder it is to bypass. Intel vPro®'s advantage compounds at the hardware layer.

The graphics below represent the same roll-up data presented in spider and bar chart views. Each category's score was normalized, and the percentage scores for Intel and AMD were calculated. Intel is dramatically ahead in demand security usage areas: AI-based security, supply chain security, and the security ecosystem software-enabling programs for AI PCs.
The 13 categories abstract up into five higher-level rollups. Score and bold name stay always visible. Hover any tile to surface the underlying paragraph and market factoids that shape each rollup.
