The locale doesn't matter, but people do.  "Intel" is not a word, so
it doesn't really matter in what place in the sort order it winds up,
as long as we always spell it with the capital "I".  But if "Advanced"
is in one place and "advanced" is in a very different place, people
may have trouble finding one or the other, if they look up stuff in
alphabetical order.
