Actually the firmware is able to request a clock boost in various scenarios.
HEVC is one where core_freq=400 and v3d_freq=300 is requested on both Pi2 and Pi3.
(if you have manually specified a higher overclock you will get the higher overclock).
The Pi3 does have a higher arm frequency and double width NEON so it can handle harder HEVC files.
