For laptops, Intel Alder Lake-P CPUs will include up to 14 cores and DDR5 memory.
According to a leaked roadmap, Intel's forthcoming Alder Lake-P CPUs for laptops would feature a maximum of 14 cores and a TDP of 12 to 45W. Additionally, the roadmap includes lower-end Alder Lake-M laptop CPUs with up to ten cores and TDPs ranging from seven to fifteen watts.
The Alder Lake-P laptop processors would have Xe GPUs with up to 96 execution units. Additionally, the CPUs support DDR5, LPDDR5, PCIe 5.0, Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 6E as standard. According to Wccftech, the highest-ranking model will feature six hyper-threaded Golden Cove cores and eight efficient Gracemont cores. This translates to a total of 14 cores and 20 threads.
Although the clock rates are not specified, the slide confirms that Alder Lake-P processors have a TDP ranging from 12W to 45W, depending on the model. As such, this series serves as a replacement for the present Tiger Lake H45, H35, and UP3 chips, which are likewise designed for laptops and include TDPs ranging from 12W to 45W. Wccftech's roadmap notes the coming of a laptop CPU family called Alder Lake-M. These processors would contain a maximum of ten cores, which equates to two powerful cores and eight energy-efficient cores. This is consistent with previously released information regarding Intel's future low-power laptop CPUs.
This results in TDPs of between 7 and 15W for various CPUs. Additionally, the roadmap mentions compatibility for PCIe 4.0 and Lpddr4x and Lpddr5 memory. This sector appears to be weak in PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 capabilities. Additionally, Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E support are announced, and the Alder Lake-M CPUs receive Xe GPUs with up to 96 EUs.
According to the roadmap, production of the Intel Alder Lake-P CPUs would begin between November 2021 and March 2022. Alder Lake-M chips will be available later in the year, between January and April 2022. It is unknown when older laptops equipped with Alder Lake processors will become available. Intel is anticipated to unveil its laptop CPUs at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. The first desktop variants of Alder Lake are due as early as November.

4 high performance cores are not enough for gamers/enthusiasts (who will mostly stick with 35-45W CPU), so 6 high performance cores make more sense to me. Maybe we can even have a 8 high performance cores CPU (for the desktop replacements).

And chickens will have teeth and the squirrel in Trump's head will become alive. That roadmap is only a dream

I would prefer a CPU with just 8 low power cores, their performance seems more than enough, specially for laptops.

On a laptop, 4 performance cores is definitely all a gamer needs. Most games today still hardly take advantage of 4c/8t, and even then, not every thread requires the full set of instructions.

i would have expect 4 high performance cores and the rest on high efficency.
