TL;DR

AMD's newly released Ryzen 8000G desktop APUs are experiencing performance loss due to a bug in the firmware that applies STAPM limits, causing the chips to throttle after a short burst of full power output. This issue affects both the 8700G and 8600G models. AMD has acknowledged the problem and confirmed that a future firmware update will remove the STAPM limits, allowing the APUs to perform at their fullest potential for sustained periods.
