it upstream from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-
video-ati/+bug/825989. I have the same problem with my laptop GPU.]

The clock frequency of the GPU is set to maximum by default and it is
never throttled back. This leads to a laptop battery that is drained
quickly, an unneccesary amount of heat produced, an annoying fan, etc
etc.

Users can set the frequency through the command line like with 
echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
but most users don't know about this.
