It displays the memory speed in a different way depending on the tool. Programs usually present half the actual speed, so 2800 is actually twice the real rate. Your CPU runs at 5600MHz, but tools like CPU-Z show 2800 because they calculate based on that.

Understand that this relates to "DDR" meaning Double Data Rate. You'll notice this across any system you use CPU-Z to check RAM speed. Regardless of the manufacturer, board, or other factors, it indicates that the actual speed is double what CPU-Z displays when you pick a setting.
