In theory, yes. But in the real world the bottleneck of the same 128 bit wide memory, interface that's been popular way back since the time of dual core chips.
Less cache misses (on popular workloads) helps decrease power and increase performance enough that few things benefit from 12-16 cores.
Thus the M3 max (with a 512 bit wide memory system) has a class leading single core and multi-core scores.
