I Have Acer Aspire 5 
i5 1135g7
Geforce MX350 
8GB DDR4
512GB SSD
The Problem Is, I monitored the TDP Of CPU and it was 12 Watt Max Instead Of 28 Watt Of The Processor. I Want To Know If This Is A Bug Or Something Or This Is The Wattage From The Manufacturer. I'm Frustrated By The Performance

    this is because the vendor lowers the tdp to cut the cost of manufacturing. higher tdp means bigger battery, bigger cooling system, bigger ac adapter and so on.
    but still, how did you tested? firstly, you need to be on AC. next, you have to stress the cpu and watch the tdp in the same time. it mighit keep the 28w tdp for a short time.
