A new leak showed costumer mobile Alder Lake (so for companies, not consumers) will come out in Q1 next year, so possibly this also holds true for the consumer cards.

The good stuff:

The H45 chips all come with 6 big cores and 8 small cores (6C8c), which should be plenty in a gaming laptop or even for an mobile workstation
The U28 top-end chip also comes with the 6C8c configuration, while the other ones are 4C8c, still pretty good

The bad stuff:

U15, so your standard ultrabook chips, come with only 2C8c or 2C4c. Only 2 big cores can potentially hamper perforance a lot.
U9 is mostly the same, except they also come with 1C4c, which has already been proven with the Ice Lake chips of the same configuartion that it is weaker than just the 4c as those could otherwise clock higher and more than make up the singular high power core. This core is also the only one for U5, which is supposed to come for tablets.
