Zen 2 and 8 cores only. No Hyperthreading or whatever AMD calls it.
Still a beast. Here's gaming performance on the IGPU. Make your own decision.

And dated is...well a phrase. I don't remember the site, but a team compared the intel 14mm architecture and found that since they first introduced 14mm until now, intel has only gained 10% when comparing same clock/core count. Old processors are still wildly competent.
Also, value means something different to different people. I am a fan of Warren Buffets definition of it. I suspect you mean cheap, within context. But value and cheap are not synonymous in the strictest and denote different reasons for the low cost.
So while this might not be the laptop for you, I am happy that they put AMD in the inexpensive segment. This laptop solves every one of my needs without introducing new problems or compromises for me. This laptop is a balls out awesome value.
For <$800 you would be better off getting a i7-1165g7 much better performance in single and quad core performance, slightly worse in multicore, better IGP, quicksync for editing and transcoding, Id wait for the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha deals to come back, same or better specs, same weight and size class and $650 for the i7, samsung does these sales every few weeks so it will come back
