performance - Windows 10 task manager CPU clock speed exceeds displayed maximum clock speed?

So in the windows task manager, in the performance tab, there's data concerning current clock speed and beside it is stated "maximum speed".


Maximum speed is stated 2.00 GHz, which is correct as per my CPU specs.


On the contrary, though, I see the current clock speed displayed sometimes exceeds 2 GHz (usually around 2 - 3 Ghz) during spikes.


Is this just a glitch in the task manager or is my CPU being overclocked?


Processor is Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz (quad-core)
