What laptop is it specifically?
Are you sure it's only using the iGPU? Most laptops dynamically switch between the integrated and dedicated, you have to configure the GPU settings in Radeon settings to choose what applications use what graphics card:

Switching to the dedicated AMD GPU

• First, open Radeon Settings. One way to do that is right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop and choosing Radeon Settings from the menu.
• Navigate to Preferences > Additional Settings > Power > Switchable Graphics Application Settings.
• Select the game from the list of applications. If it is not in the list, click the Add Application button and select the *.exe-file of the game from the game's installation directory. This adds the game to the list and you'll be able to select it afterwards.
• In the column Graphics Settings, assign the High Performance profile to the game.

Is this just generally or when you are using the laptop for something that requires the gpu?
