I thinks so. In a car engine the cylinders are part of one block that
has to be cooled. I'm not sure if the cooling fluid passes the cylinders
one after the other (in a series) instead of passing the cylinders in
parallel at the same time. I would say the latter would be possible and
preferable. I'd surprise me if it were not done that way.
Anyway the comparison is not valid i.m.h.o. The processors are two
separate units whereas the engine is one block.
