DDR means Double Data Rate. So the number you see is multiplied by 2. 1499MHz x 2 = 3000MHz. There is also a more technical explanation but we will leave that for now.

Long story short: your memory is running at the right speed, if CPU-Z shows (around) 1500Mhz.
 

Long story a bit less short:

Your memory runs at 1500Mhz, which is (millions) of ticks per second. Per tick it can do two transfers (which is why it is called DDR = Double Data Rate), so it is running at 3000MT/s (millions of transfers per second). Manufacturers of memory/motherboards call this 'MT/s' unit 'Mhz', thus they advertise this as 3000Mhz memory.

CPU-Z reads it out the right way, thus 3000Mhz.
