Current Linux kernel situation with Alder Lake?

I am currently running kernel 5.15.12-1. Thinking about doing an upgrade on my current system and wondering what the current situation with the kernel is with Alder Lake?

Last I heard it was a bit of a mess with the Linux scheduler not working properly, but that was back in November via Level1Linux. I haven't heard much since to say things have moved along?

Bump from me also. I have done the due diligence and read around, however, i'm still none the wiser as though I use Linux i've never really delved into the machinations of the what seems like politics of what is included within the kernel.

No doubt 5.16 is moving in the right direction, but doesn't mention anything about improving P/E core distribution of tasks.

Thank you. I will definitely be moving back to the LTS version of Ubuntu when it is released (currently using POP!, which although working OK, I just prefer the stability of the LTS releases).
