wrong cpu max speed in bios

Question

Hi , i have a dell g15 5510 gaming laptop with an i7 10870h and an rtx 3060 , i noticed a very strange thing in my bios overview section , the cpu is supposed to have a max speed of 5.0ghz not 2.2ghz . another strange thing is that the cpu reaches speeds that are beyond the one said in bios (it reaches 4.6ghz - 4.9ghz) which is the normal thing . im wondering whats causing the bios to label the max cpu speed at 2.2ghz which should be the stock speed ?

2.2 GHz is the base speed.

Max turbo speed can be reached only with all but one CPU core disabled.

This is the way CPUs from Intel have been marked for years now.
