Yep see, this is absolutely night & day compared to mine. For the price I was expecting all 5950X’s to be binned like this... definitely think mine is at the bottom end of the scale whereas yours is near the top.This is maybe a bit of humble bragging! I'm not usually lucky when it comes to silicon lottery but (touch wood) I seem to have done well this time.
To OP, I would give it a bit more time and observation. Maybe check cooling - I originally had higher temps like you towards high 80's / low 90's. Gave my PC a good clean out and temps dropped significantly and then saw much better boosting.

Will monitor the max hit core speeds for a bit longer but there’s just no way my silicon is allowing individual core speeds at that level. The whole pc build is only a few weeks old too and everything is clean
Not necessarily, i just want all 16 of my cores to be individually able to hit 4.9 at least

To get the same picture* you need to run a single threaded benchmark, preferably not too cpu heavy and manually pin its affinity to each core one at a time.
completely stock? looks to be like you have +200MHz AutoOC enabled
Yep, tried this with Cinebench R20, set affinity to various different cores while the single core benchmark was running. Like I said, most of them simply will not boost to 4.9Ghz no matter what I do*. The picture in my first post is the result of that, hence my concern.
yeah i guess my main concern is more with the single core boost rather than a multicore push as that will affect performance the most on a day to day basis. Not entirely sure how the boost algorithm works during a single core or single thread load (e.g. gaming), but I assume the workload gets passed from one core to the next “hot potato style” in order to keep the temps from going too high. If this is the case, my chip performance would suffer when the algo runs out of higher boosting cores to juggle with.

Unusual.
You are lucky to have a working CPU after this. 1.5V is mental. The 1.5V value you see in monitoring doesn't mean the cores actually gets it (no more than 1.4V actual for me) and never at full core load.
OC mode: Auto Overclocking, field Boost Override CPU shows how much AutoOC is dialed in.
