There are four Alder Lake dies in production, two for desktop (8+8 and 6+0 P/E-cores) and two for mobile (6+8 and 2+8 cores). So the 10-core desktop parts are probably the most cut-down variant of the full 8+8 die, and all the lower core count desktop parts are likely made from the 6-core die that omits the E-cores entirely. Whether you look at just the desktop segment (29 SKUs from two dies) or the whole family (94 SKUs from four dies), it's an incredibly overcomplicated product stack.
