From the Paper:

"Although the specific competitive advantage for Intel can not be located, the competitive advantage categories which best fit Intel are the differentiation and cost leadership strategies. The differentiation strategy involves providing consumers extra value-added features. A good example is Intel's wireless entertainment platform technologies. Intel is in a position to charge a premium for the platform technologies; thus, consumers are indeed getting features not offered by the competition. Intel also falls into the cost leadership strategy because Intel has invested in building manufacturing facilities around the world to produce its products. The lower end product such as the Intel's Celeron is a standard product with relatively little differentiation and is acceptable to the majority of the computer users in the world."
