Install linux-firmware instead, it contains the same amd firmware.

I just installed linux-firmware to test this, after removing the radeon-ucode package that was blocking it, and removing amd-ucode as per your information. The microcode files for my CPU are now missing.

Oh! Silly me, amd-ucode is for the CPU, not the GPU. Ignore me then

. It's the radeon-ucode stuff that's also in linux-firmware.

A google search brings up:

as well as a hit for these very forums just ~20 days ago:
