A customer observed that according to Task Manager, their CPU was running faster than the maximum speed. How is that even possible?

The processor’s maximum speed is 2.50GHz, but it’s running at 2.90GHz? I know that athletes give 110% effort, but this processor is giving 116%!
This is a feature of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, which runs a processor above its rated frequency if they are “operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.”
To me, this sounds like the CPU can dynamically overclock itself.
