CPU-Z displays the actual frequency which is 800MHz with DUAL DATA RATE it is effective 1600MHz so correct.

so which one is correct?

topprospect :

They both are. Just showing different things. 1600 is the Dual Data Rate for 800Mhz. DDR.

800MHz in CPU-Z means it is running at 1600MHz!

CPU-Z can be confusing, see my thread on it and it's misconceptions here:
