Yes it is. They have four 16 thread pipelines, and two single thread pipelines per core. 4*16=64 and 64+2=66

So, why do they consider that 1 core? Isn't that more like a "compute complex" of multiple cores, as seen on zen 2, but with different core architectures attached instead of 4 cores of the same design?

I'd be inclined to call them multiple cores myself, but if they all share the same pipe to main memory that would be a plausible reason to call them all the same core.
