It was yesterday i was monitoring my clock speeds with Arch Kernel booted and found that its actually half (1.8 ghz) of my burst clock which is 3.4 ghz. But when i install Zen kernel i can reach 3.4 ghz in performance governor. Why is that so?
I have an Intel 8th gen 8250U cpu

Were you comparing the performance governor on both kernels?

No, but why wouldnt the arch kernel allow me to use my max clock

How do you know that the `linux` kernel doesn't?
How have you configured your laptop? Are you running on battery? etc.

Which specific kernel i.e. stable, hardened or longterm ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel ) and which specific version?
See also https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1966032
Also for "burst clock" do you mean "Max Turbo Frequency"?
Also what does the
i7z
https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/i7z/
command tell you?

I know because i am using frequency monitoring utilities, how else do i come to know that.
I have enabled Intel turbo boost in my BIOS.
And i never run it on battery
