My ASRock sets VSoC to a silly high coltage with EXPO. Set that back down (and fiddle with some other settings/disable the IGP if you can), and it does help a ton.
…But I think AMD’s MCM chips just do idle hotter. My older 4800HS uses dramatically less, even with the IGP on.
Peripherals and IO will do that. Cores pulling 5-6W while IO die pulls 6-10W

Same with auto overclocking mobos.
