Grab today's 4.0 build (8ea68765fcac), or just any recent 4.0 build really.
Enable developer extras (Edit > preferences > interface > display > developer extras)
Enable Eevee-next from the now visible experimental settings (Edit > preferences > experimental > prototypes > Eevee-next)
Before switching to Eevee-next, you may want to switch to Eevee and reduce the viewport samples to 1 or 2 in order to not make your PC near unusable for very long.
Switch to the Eevee-next renderer in the render properties. Switch to rendered shading or material preview shading.
Everything except the cursor will freeze every ~2 seconds, sometimes everything will freeze including the cursor.
If you set your samples low, after about a minute the freezing should stop. You can pan around the viewport to get it to freeze again.
While Eevee-next is experimental, I've seen AMD have been fixing their driver bugs with it, and it's better to report this issue 12 months before it releases than 12 hours after. I have not had this issue with my RX 480.
