Why is my RAM frequency in BIOS is reported as much higher number than in Corsair LINK?

I'm curious about something. I've set up my RAM for XMP profile in BIOS with the frequency setting of 3200 MHz. Here's the screenshot:

But then when I was playing with the Corsair LINK software in Windows, I noticed that it was reporting the RAM speeds at 1600 MHz:

Is there a reason for this discrepancy?
