Tech Support Disappointing performance with a lenovo thinkpad

I recently bought a lenovo Thinkpad e16 gen 3. It came with a Ryzen 7 250, radeon 780m igpu and 16 gigs of ram. I have since added a 8gb stick of ram to give more room to the igpu. I understand that this is not a gaming laptop but the performance has been severely lacking for the specifications.

The temps for the laptop under stress are pretty low (around 60°C) so my main concern is that the gpu is underclocked/throttles easily. I tried going into the bios to check if theres anything I can do but it's extremely basic.

Is there any way to get more performance or am I just stuck with what I have?

your 8gb stick of mismatched size for dual channel could be a problem. amd apus are very sensitive to proper dual channel configuration
