If you look deeper you will notice the PS3 has two processing units, each of which utilise it's own 256Mb memory, one processor is dedicated towards graphics and the other dedicated towards the main processing.

The Xbox360 has the same memory when put together (512Mb total memory) however it only has one processor to process the same amount of information. In this case, PS3's are a damnsight faster to load programs and games, however the Xbox can load pure graphics or pure code faster than the PS3 if it is the only thing it is loading at the time. So, in terms of actual console speed, the PS3 wins out in terms of loading, but the Xbox can load background code and programming faster.
