hdparm -t does not display accurate bandwidth for fast SSD

Hi,
my system has a fast SSD with read speed above 7GB/s.
However, hdparm -t is not able to measure this speed accurately:
# hdparm -t /dev/nvme0n1
/dev/nvme0n1:
Timing buffered disk reads: 7362 MB in 3.00 seconds = 2453.67 MB/sec
Other benchmark software, such as gnome-disks, display a read speed above 7GB/s.
