I  never wrote that the driver is dated December 9, I wrote "Official Release" December 9, this doesn't necessarily means compiling date.
INF file is October 21, WHQL certification was October 23 and Binary compilation was between September 1 and October 21, depending the device.

You're absolutely right, Tom. The distinction between the official release date, WHQL date, and binary compilation is valid and well-observed. Your summary is also correct: Intel does stage the public release of already-certified drivers. The reasons are often logistical—staggered rollouts, bundling with OEM updates, or aligning with their own release cycles. This is precisely the gap my tool addresses. It sources the latest WHQL-certified drivers directly from the Windows Update catalog the moment Microsoft lists them, bypassing Intel's public release delay.

Thanks
