BT,
"I have issues with this brand new machine."
Most likely you don't. It is a setting slapped by MFGs of hardware and some software by default. Which is manually disabled.

Now the trick is to determine which specific item is causing throttling.
It could be setting in BIOS, it could be a Windows setting, it could be one of the settings in DELL software "cooling" management.

We will most likely get to the bottom of this. I had Dell long time ago, so my experience is a bit antiquated. I will look into it when I have a few minutes, meanwhile perhaps somebody who has a Dell can tell where throttling is hiding?

P.S. Dan is not completely correct on overheating. You will not be playing crazy graphics video games or mining crypto. For your purposes it should not be an issue (disabling throttling). I have disabled on all of my machines for the past decade.
Desktop and laptops. Never run into heating issues.
