How current are each vendor's listings?

Ranked best to worst by median lag — the typical gap between a listed driver and the newest version any source ships for that silicon (board vendors plus Windows Update and AMD/Intel direct). The damning numbers: the share of a vendor's machines more than a year behind on at least one driver family, and the share whose listings have had no driver update at all in two years.

Full metric

Do vendors maintain their back catalogue?

Median worst-case lag per desktop platform, plus each vendor's add-in graphics cards (laptop/desktop system vendors have no socket and sit out this view). Darker = further behind: the tell-tale pattern is a vendor keeping the current generation fresh while old-but-still-sold boards drift for years.

Best & worst maintained, by vendor

Every vendor keeps some machines current and lets others rot — each vendor's best-kept and most-neglected per product type (a graphics card and a motherboard aren't the same race), broken down by component. The chips show where the lag is: one stale driver reads very differently from a machine abandoned across the board.
