This is the best summary I could come up with:

The latest bits of future Intel CPU hardware support being queued for the mainline kernel is adding Intel Idle driver support for the upcoming Sierra Forest and Grand Ridge processors.

Queued this week in the power management subsystem’s “linux-next” branch is adding support for Sierra Forest and Grand Ridge to the “intel_idle” driver for merging come Linux 6.8.

Sierra Forest is the high core count, all-E-core server processor Intel is set to release in 2024.

Grand Ridge is an upcoming Intel Atom SoC that has been rumored to be a 7nm ~24 core processor.

The Sierra Forest support in the Intel Idle driver sums up some of the processor’s characteristics: "Add Sierra Forest SoC C-states, which are C1, C1E, C6S, and C6SP.

The Linux 6.8 stable kernel should ship by mid-March which should be before either of these Intel processors reach customers for ensuring proper C-state support.
