I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T495s with a Ryzen 7 pro 3700u everytime i open up a game like roblox or valorant, My CPU usage clock speed decreases from 2.7 ghz to 1.4 ghz. I had a bios update 1 week ago that momentarily fixed my issue but now it has returned.

    If your BIOS has now been fully updated, go to the support page for your device on the Lenovo website, from there, download and re-install (not update) the version of AMD chipset drivers and AMD graphics drivers they provide to test if that resolves the CPU clock speed problem.
