They are not. The new version is Chromium and is due a bug with it and hardware accerlation. It's detailed on the other formum post on external monitors. This issue is Chromium only vs other apps.

It is not isolated to Chromium. I also have this problem in Safari with e.g. canvas elements (which are accelerated by default).
I got the exact same issue on my Macbook Pro 16inch
Here the configuration
- 2,4 GHz Intel Core i9 8 cores
- 64 Go 2667 MHz DDR4
- AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 Go
In addition, I've two LG Ultrafine 4K, and one of them run at 30hz instead of 60hz...
And finally I had a hardware issue there are few months ago, and that need to change the screen.
Very good laptop they said..

Google Chrome Has MacBook Problems, Apple Silent
it gives a quick fix for the problem while using chrome :"In the meantime, users have found a temporary workaround by disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome - though this will obviously impact performance. You can do this by pasting chrome://settings/system in the browser and toggling ‘Use hardware acceleration when available’ to off.

No it's not. Been happening in Safari and other apps too, been there for almost 1 year. See Apple denying and finally admitting (last message here):
this with the terrible throttling issues make the 16'' MBP the worst Apple laptop ever (been using them since 2006, so I I am not sure there has been anything worse before). Worst part is Apple doesn't seem to care much this time.
Was able to fix the issue on new mac with chrome by disabling hardware accelleration under settings -> system -> use hardware acceleration.
> Try disabling PowerNap and Automatic Graphic Switching in Energy Saver settings. I did that on my MBP 16 and have had a week of zero restarts and zero graphics issues as per your picture. Previously happened every day with Teams and Chrome. Whether it's an actual fix only time will tell but so far it's worked for me.
sounds like this would just disable the discrete card right? Tried that but you can't with external monitors. these amd cards have so many issues... why don't they offer nvidia? weird.

Get the free version of Turbo Boost Switcher and thank me later. Bye bye throttling.No it's not. Been happening in Safari and other apps too, been there for almost 1 year. See Apple denying and finally admitting (last message here):
