So I've been looking at my cpu through task manager. I see that when cpu is being utilized at 10% its going on about 3.7ghz which is 0.2ghz away from its max turbo speed. Then, when it increases to about 40%, it goes down to 1-2.5ghz. Is there a problem? Should I return it?

Turbo is designed for single-core tasks, but your system supports up to 1.3GHz across all cores. It’s typical to operate at the speed you’re using, though you can keep an eye on temperatures to ensure they stay below 90°C for optimal performance.

This 15W CPU is built to operate at peak frequency while staying within temperature and power constraints. It also features a temporary performance increase that might surpass the 15W limit briefly. With a base clock speed of 1.30Ghz, this performance pattern appears typical.
