If the machine has a unified cache for both cores like a core duo there is indeed little chance for improvement by MT.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation. So a this kind of CPU Chip is more or less a hoax ?

That's too strong. The Intel multicore architecture is a stopgap solution, AMD systems scale usually much better. However, that does not mean Intel cannot win any benchmark, in fact, they win many benchmarks. Some applications simply put less stress on the memory architecture than others.
