That's obviously false. Otherwise graphics wouldn't get any faster when you add more GPU cores, to name one common embarrassingly parallel problem. Our software is just really bad at making use of those extra cores. Measure real-world use cases with a well-tuned work stealing engine and you'll see how much performance we're leaving on the table.
