That's your answer right there; "a little tweak". By factory, however, four cores' boost only reaches 3.6GHz to stick to it continuously (a better definition for the "all the time" I said). Otherwise it's 3.8GHz boost only with one or two cores. That's one other weird computer behavior 
More cores use more voltage and with stock voltage power has to be distributed between cores to reach a clock speed. Continues 3.8GHz for all four core is more voltage than 3.6GHz for all of them. It's something overclocker are familiar with.
How did you find that 3.8GHz? Did you run a CPU stress test on all four cores while watching a real-time graph? That's the right way to see the real thing.
