Found it... Gen 3, which is surprising for a new laptop.
To make it more confusing there are also Zen 3+ based cpu's

My intel laptop cpu's never had issues as much as the AMD laptop cpu's (all the issues I remember with thermals were related to HP/AMD and some other brands combined with AMD cpu's.)
The issues with the AMD laptop cpu's were so bad that the GPU would stop working, things would de-solder from the excess heat. Horror stories, for real.
The issues you had with AMD must have been pre-Ryzen. I haven't heard of any issues with Ryzen. HP on the other hand is one I stay away from.

I did not get the info from anywhere - this is from first hand experience - you can also look it up on various forums if you search yourself.
I used to replace and resolder several components due to these issues in order to make the laptops functional again (at least for a while). All caused by the thermal issues from AMD - granted it was mostly HP laptops with SHIT cooling. But again - those same HP laptops were fine with intel cpu's at that time.

And if you had American Express, you could go to its offers page and get $100 off this Dell purchase on orders over $600. So the Dell G15 gaming laptop would have come to $529 before taxes.
My only advice is to wait for other deals and add "laptop" or "gaming laptop" to your deal alert with popular rating so you get instantly notified of these deals.
