your dell g7 7588 is experiencing throttling under load, which can happen with high temperatures or power constraints. despite the thermal improvements, the CPU caps at a lower frequency than expected. this might be beneficial for cooling but is causing performance drops during stress tests. consider checking thermal management, fan settings, or power delivery to see if adjustments help.
It's strange, I'm not even sure why it's limited below the base clock speed.
Is the power source fully charged? Occasionally the central processing unit operates at a slower pace when energy levels drop, and you might see a notice in the Windows Event Log stating something like: "The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being restricted by system firmware. The processor has been in this diminished performance mode for XY seconds since the previous update."
