Look up your CPU  on ark.intel.com.
The CPU can run all cores at the rated frequency continuously.
Cores will only turbo if there is thermal budget, typically when you do a short spike of work.

In the case where the CPU cooling is insufficient for the CPU TDP then it will slow its clock to prevent damage.
