I had this same issue with my previous laptop (different brand), but I ignored (well, did the 'fix' below to solve it) it there because I didn't care as much with it. It was a terribly noisy machine in any mode.
But now I have a new laptop and I am experiencing the same issues.
I am really in love with this new laptop, so I would really like to have this fixed. On balanced performance it usually performs great with almost no fan noises.
As soon as I install the power-profiles-daemon service so that KDE's powerdevil can use it, I experience stuttery performance on my whole system, sometimes during video playback, sometimes during games, sometimes even while browsing, ... but sometimes everything is fine. It's not always as bad and I can't say for certain but I believe it got worse since one of the recent updates, but that can be wrong.
Turning the profile to max performance doesn't help, the system stays stuttery. The only way to get rid of the stutter is by removing the power-profiles-daemon service (not simply disabling it because powerdevil starts it anyway, even if it is disabled).
Both laptops have an intel and nvidia gpu. I found a lot of similar messages about computers with nvidia gpu, but these never talk about power-profiles-daemon, so I don't think they are related, but maybe they are...

I gave it a couple of days for test-run before posting here, but I switched to tuned and the stuttering is gone while having great battery life again.
