Not necessarily - tic-tock let them double the number of new product releases compared to having new architectures launch simultaneously on new processes. Doubling the number of product releases was valuable competitively, as well as reducing their risk of having dated products if a deadline was missed. There was work for sure to move to a new process, but that wasn't necessarily duplicated work with the architecture being created on a prior process. My impression was that it was already parallelized, and that not having to develop new architectures on new processes prevented a fair bit of contention.
