bit confused with CPU stock speeds

OK so I just built a computer with an i7 930 (2.8GHz) with tri channel ddr3-1333 cl9

I'm about to overclocking it, and I just started up CPUz before I did anything just to see the stock settings and it said core speed 2000MHz +/- like 100MHz or something so I went into the BIOS to check it and it says the same thing.

So I was just wondering If I didn't plan on overclocking it, or if a normal person just built a computer. They'd be running it at like 2000MHz ish? even though it says 2.8GHz? stock

I used a gigabyte GA-55A-UD3R

I hope you have installed the motherboard chipset drivers sounds to me like a driver is missing as mine stays around the 2800mhz mark and with turbo enabled {default} it can go up to 3200mhz and that is just stock.
