No. Check out this video by Zach Tellman. He talks about queues and how they break down under load. One of the least intuitive things he points out is that when you have more processors, the breakdown tends to be more of a step function: everything is running smoothly till the moment that it isn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNOO3xxMc0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNOO3xxMc0 The point he makes arises from basic queue theory and is applicable to all kinds of systems, and how those systems react to load. It's got little to due with particular hardware and everything to do with basic math.
