In my case, Corectrl didn't have ondemand as an option for linux-amd.
Are you sure it's the linux-amd package you have installed?
Absolutely, I removed all other kernels and the kernel version shows up on top of my Conky all the time. *-AMD @ 300Hz
Replace “*” with kernel version, of course.
There must be something setting ondemand, I wonder if I have a systemd laying around from a loooong time that sets governor to ondemand on every boot. I’ll double check that. lol

Actually, I could do all of this cause I had a few days of holiday. Starting tomorrow, I will be pretty busy till this year of school ends (I am in the last year at school!).
Apparently Kenel 6.0 will offer amazing improvements in CPU and power usage for AMD systems as well as RDNA 2/3 platform... cant wait for it.

Why no tests with Kernel 6 aka Mainline yet?
I had done geekbench benchmarks with kernel
6.0rc1
When it was released. Here they are

Btw, there's difference between Linux kernel 6 and mainline. Mainline is just a kernel, that is latest and compiled quite often. Kenel 6 refers to all kernel based on Linux kernel 6 code.

Hey Austin and all others !
I found something interesting out:
On my Desktop Pc with 5900x Zen3 using linux-zen i can switch coreCtrl to "power save " but on my notebook (Zen2 5500u) with same Kernel i can not do this.
I can do this with linux xanmod works fine with 5500u.

Since kernel 6 (Linux 6.0.1-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 12 Oct 2022 18:28:11 +0000 x86_64) i can activate powersaving with 5500u also with this kernel !
But it can with energy-save mode only clock down to 1400 Mhz !
