CPU frequency drops at 100% load. What's the problem?

Good evening, I have a question.
I set myself an i5 11400 with a frequency of 2.6Ghz - 4.4Ghz (turbo boost)
I immediately downloaded a couple of more or less heavy games and tested them in them.

Shows frequency 4386Hz. Everything seems to be fine, the turbo boost works as it should, but I decided to run it in AIDA 64, and this is what happens.
The beginning of the test:

4190Hz frequency of the processor, literally 30 seconds pass, and at 100% load it starts to work at a frequency of 3392Hz and keeps just as stable. How is that in general?

According to the sensors, it does not heat up above 50G, when you start applications, the turbo boost also operates at a frequency of 4.4Ghz.
What is the problem? Everything is absolutely new and in games or when using it does not affect in any way, does not buggy, does not freeze and there is no throttling, but why does the frequency drop at 100% load? It is logical that if the game had a processor loaded under 100%, then it would most likely also start working at a frequency of 3.4Hhz

You need to raise the power limits in the BIOS

Are you an alien from the past? Turbo Boost is over ten years old and you've never heard of it?
https://www.intel.ru/content/www/ru/ru/architectur...

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor to briefly operate at a power level that exceeds the

While the processor is cold, the load is not maximum, the average load over the past period has not gone beyond the limits, then the turbo boost will accelerate the cores above the norm, due to this, there is an acceleration of work in everyday simple tasks. But when the load is high, the turbo boost turns off, the processor runs at a base low frequency, with a lower voltage so as not to burn out.
You can get into the BIOS and raise the limits if a specific mother and CPU allow, but the CPU will heat up radically more, the usual 60 watts can easily be turned into 120 watts under load, this already needs a strong cooler plus a decent motherboard.
