I have a laptop with Ryzen 5 3500U. It has two gpus: Vega 8 and AMD Radeon 540X.
Vega 8 is always on 100% of use.
Someone here knows what is the cause? A friend of mine has a identical laptop e it has the same issue, even with other distro (OpenSUSE TW, Fedora and Pop OS), with other kernel e Mesa.
Another friend has a similar laptop (running Fedora), but without the dedicate gpu, and has the same issue.
In a group a find a user with the same issue, but with Ryzen 3 mobile of 3000 series.
My laptop is running Endeavour OS, with kernel 6.1.60-1-lts and Mesa 23.2.1.
Same issue when running the latest stable kernel.

And since recent laptops that get put up on the market get there BIOS updated more often, can you check for your model number at your manufacturer “support” page ?
And if it’s in need of a new BIOS software can you update it ?
If you don’t have a working Windows on that system than probably yes you will need to. However it is something that will only be needed on rare occasions.
When did this problem start for you? Yesterday I have updated linux-firmware and amd-ucode, almost every game’s fps went down by 30fps. I rolled back the system with timeshift and everything works well again.
Where and how can we report firmware issues? The firmware is from september, it’s weird that no one caught it since then. Is it a really bad idea to put amd-ucode and linux-firmware in IgnorePkg?
The procedure to install the new BIOS version is to run a Windows system from the pendrive and run the executable. But every time I turn on my laptop this screen appears. It’s simple to exit it. Because of that I ignore it.
However, this apparently is preventing me from running the system on the pendrive and installing the new BIOS.
