It's actually Z80-ish with some features missing and some new ones included. It's a Sharp LR35902 SoC with an SM83 core (not sure if it has been used in non-GB SoCs).
I can recommend The Ultimate Gameboy Talk for details on it (and much more).

EDIT: I had the SoC and the core names the wrong way around. Thanks svendahlstrand.
- svendahlstrand 5y agoI believe the LR35902 SoC is exclusive for the Game Boy, but the actual CPU core, SM83, is probably used elsewhere. Sharp's datasheets [2] mention home appliances as intended application. [2]: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sharp+sm83+datasheet https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sharp+sm83+datasheet
