Simultaneous multi-threading doesn't mean thread gets works as if it had half the clockrate. The whole point of SMT is to get both threads as close as possible to using the whole CPU for themselves (with the obvious constraints). I really suggest you read some more before you embarass yourself again. PS: I'd also suggest that you be a bit clearer next time, you didn't make it clear at all that you were comparing 6 SPUs vs 1 PPU (an unfair comparison I may add).

Interesting, you're telling me the hardware threading on the PPU doesn't alternate threads each cycle? That's something I certainly wasn't aware of.
