Does Alder Lake N mean the Pentium Gold G7400 and Celeron G6900 dual-core desktop CPUs?

I'm so curious what Alder Lake N chips are going to look like configuration wise. I read a rumor on a Chromebook website that it be two P cores and 2 E cores but I thought E cores came in a 4 core chiplet thing, so my guess is two P cores and 4 E cores.

If this is the ultra mobile Celeron/Pentium chips (I don't know what "N" is) then it's probably 1+4. The IPP/ICP on this chart:
