You didnt say what spec you had, see my sandy 5ghz will make you weep :

3754 kB/s
How the hell does a 5 GHz i7-2600K (presumably) get more than triple this, especially when the benchmark only seems to use 4 logical cores?? It should only get ~5500 kB/s in theory.
I also have 4 cores plus 4 "fake" cores (as you put it) but the test doesn't appear to use more than 4 logical cores. Running at 5 GHz vs 4 GHz should add a ~25% improvement and Sandy Bridge is ~15% faster than Nehalem clock-for-clock, so he should be getting ~5500 kB/s. Even faster RAM (e.g. 2000 MHz) shouldn't boost this beyond ~6000 kB/s.he has 4 cores plus 4 fake cores, sandybridge is also more efficient is it not? clock for clock?
may also depend on the ram, how fast it is running and how tight the timings are.
