XPS 13 9360, Low Performance

Why my Laptop is giving almost half performance?

I have XPS 13 9360 i7 8th generation 8550u with 8 gb of RAM.

I just installed new windows and deleted everything. Why is performance that low?

I've run geekbench 4, 5, 6 on my laptop and it is giving almost 50% of performance than others with same specs.

Geekbench 6 scores for my laptop
(Single core score 456 Multi core score 1631).

Geekbench 6 scores of my friends laptop
(Single core score 1309 Multi core score 3671).

Why is that?

I was comparing the identical laptops. The issue was in the dell power manager app I had set the thermal management to cool which compromises CPU performance. Now, it's working perfectly as I've set it to high-performance mod there.

Have you installed the Intel CPU power management and chipset drivers?

Are you comparing two of the same systems?  The 8550U is a low-power CPU -- you can't directly compare it to a full-power 8th generation CPU.
