Zen 2, but made more efficient by newer ways of making cpus. iGPU is junk. Not even Vega.
These were sub-$300 ($289 IIRC) straight from Acer as "refurbs"... a while ago, but mine was mint.

7x30 is Zen 3 on TSMC 7nm. This is all cool except it is identical to the AMD 5000/6000 series. These chips can play some light online multiplayer games like Dota, LoL if you are okay with lower settings. These are similar to Intel 12th gen.
7x40 is Zen 4 on TSMC 4nm. THis is the true AMD current gen. Special call out if the 7840U or better; those have massively powerful 780m GPU in them, equivalent to a 1050 Ti. 7540U is not that much of an upgrade over Zen 3 as AMD has gimped the 740m with 1/3 of the cores of a full fat 780m. These are similar/better than Intel 13th gen.

While it does depend on your use case and desire for all day battery power, the Asus rocks a much more powerful chip that'll play games respectably at low quality settings. The 250nit display with low color resolution (it might also be a TN display - which makes it hard to swallow) ... it definitely won't wow you. But it's a $400 laptop, the OLED version is available for those who are thus inclined :-)
