Subscribing kernel team.

Also, posting the difference between the kernel configurations for reference so that you can see exactly why I believe it's a hardware issue. This issue you're reporting has been reported very few times, which is why I believe there is hardware commonality and might be related to the video driver.

For instance, I have issues with stuttering on my AMD video unless I add the following kernel options:

radeon.cik_support=0 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.dc=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dpm=0 amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1


Here's the configuration file differences, which you'll find are VERY minimal:
