Common issue since 2015. Check online, hundreds of thousands of articles and forums in relation to this issue.

Turbo boost is normally on single core for that speed, a lower speed for small dual core jobs and then 2.8 base clock for full load.

My late-2013 2.3 has been throttling in the recent weather. Single-core turbo should be 3.5GHz, dropping back to 3.3GHz on all cores. I'll get a quick burst at 3.3GHz then it throttles back to around 3.0-3.1Ghz once the fans have worked out I'm serious about processing something.
There's no guarantee on Turbo speeds, just the base clock...

FYI I had the same issue.
I replaced TIM with thermal grizzly paste and I undervolt the cpu using the voltageshift app (on github).
Temps still peak to 97c but clocks and not throttling anymore to 2.8ghz and Turbo's between 3.5 and 3.3 ghz. Mostly 3.5ghz.
These are my settings I entered into terminal.
These are my settings, but you need to test whats stable with your system first.
sudo ./voltageshift buildlaunchd -100 -100 -100 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 10
