cpu is hot

Solution
The 2700 Mhz CPU is running at 1397.2 Mhz... The Power Saving Options are running it slow and also the CPU fan is running at 1900 RPM which is rather slow and much slower than how it needs to be running with a hot CPU.

Change the Windows Power Saving Plan to the High Performance Plan.. After a minute or two, open Speccy and make a note of the temps. If the CPU temp is still high, disable the BIOS power saving options. The manufacturer product page should have a user manual in PDF with the necessary information on the BIOS power saving options settings.

Just in case Speccy is not so accurate try with HWiNFO64 and compare the temp readings.

BTW: Make sure the laptop is resting on a flat surface to insure...

- What CPU? What cooler? We need some specs!
- Did you just build your PC or has it been running fine before?
- How do you monitor your temps?

Give me some info to work with and I'd be glad to help :)

The CPU temp is socket temp.
The package temp is CPU core temp

Seems that the most reliable source for CPU temp is the BIOS... see if that temp is more normal.
You could verify the aproximate CPU temp with the touch of a finger on the CPU heatsink... at 85ºC you should not stand keeping your finger on the heatsink more than a second... obviously if you can stand more than a few seconds, the CPU temp is in the safe temp zone... See the temp chart for reference.
