I do not know exactly the RAM frequency but I know that DDR4 does not work at 1063 MHz and I was wondering if CPU-Z shows me half the frequency

yes it shows half. so you're running at 2133 which is default ddr4 frequency. if your ram kit is better than that, it's worth enabling xmp in bios

To be precise here: You are shown the real frequency of the RAM. Modern days we use DDR (Double Data Rate), meaning the effective clock is 2133 MHz. And since bigger numbers are better in marketing, these are the ones that get advertised.
