Install Coconut and Intel Power Gadget. Start the benchmark on 100% battery and CPU temperature lower than 40C. Also look foe any CPU processes in Activity Monitor that consume a lot of CPU time. When you start the benchmark Intel Power Gadget should show no more than 1-5% usage.
the ambient temp is 20C. I did what you told me and it seems the single core score gets up a bit, hitting 1178~1182, but the multicore score is still a little under 7000, stopping at around 6954~6971.
I notice that the fan is very quite through out the entire process except for toward the end (still too quite). It seems the cpu isn't pushed. I wonder what the Intel Power Gadget should look like for a normal CPU.

My single core score looks fine around (1178~1182) while the multicore score is still under 7000. the fan noise is really low, making me wonder if the cpu power is limited by some settings. any ideas?

I have the same config save for subbing the RAM for 32GB. My scores were 1181 and 7375. Not sure what everyone else is getting, but I ran the same test on my late 2016 with the 2.7 i7, 16GB, 1 TB and got 724 and 2929.
I have the same setup as OP. Just tried GB couple of times:
1192/7368
1132/6800
1131/6868
1158/7320
1253/7296
Not sure why second+third run were so much worse.
