I assume the low power island cores - which are basically useless for anything other than latency insensitive background tasks when the CPU is in a low power state.

But isn't that what E cores do already? Or is this something new to give laptops more battery but will do nothing on desktop again
They are off the main compute tile, usually 2 LPE cores, on the SoC tile, so the system can better power gate the main compute tile(s) for improved power efficiency.

Correct, as it allows the compute tile to power down per say / go into a low state
