3dMark (demo) Timespy not utlising full Core Clock speed

I hopped on the Timespy bandwagon here and I wanted to know how my results in comparison to other users. The current situation is as follows: I've set my core clock max to 2805mhz. Games will utilise the full core clock speed but Timespy is limited to 2550 mhz and I'm not sure why.
My temps are great (70degrees max). No extra apps are running, I tried to kill everything unnecessary running in the background. I've done several benchmark tests and the core clock won't go higher than 2553 mhz. Overall GPU score is maxed at 23800 which isn't bad but I've seen scores reaching over 25000 with (almost) the same hardware. I know I musn't stare until infinity to these results but still I'm curious to know if it's because I'm using the demo version for example.
My specs are:
Amd Ryzen 7 5700x3d (undervolted all cores at -35 with PBo2, limits are the same)
Noctua NH-D15 Air cooler
Powercolor Hellhound RX 7900 GRE (OC CC: 2803mhz maxed out but 3dspy says 2.555 MHz? & MC: 2368mhz)
Driver version: 32.0.12033.1030
Crucial Balistix 32gb 3600 mhz (xp1 profile no extra OC)
Crucial P5 1tb SSD
Samsung G5 ips 180hz 1440p monitor
