Greetings.

Replying as an user – I am not a member of the Debian kernel team:

I saw something similar with vanilla 7.1.7 kernel – self-compiled – on my 
ThinkPad T14 AMD Gen 5 with integrated AMD Radeon 780M GPU. I did not see 
the 75% case, but under usual workloads the CPU is not fully utilized on 
this system.

It went away with vanilla 7.1.8. Can you try with 7.1.8 once the Debian 
kernel image for that becomes available?

I use firmware-amd-graphics 20260622-1 package.

Best,
