True or False: For an autoregressive text generation model, doubling the number of parallel processing units available for computation will cut the total time required to generate a 100-token sequence in half.

Evaluating a Performance Optimization Strategy
A team is comparing two text generation systems to produce a 10-token sequence.
- System A generates tokens one after another. The computation for each token takes 100ms.
- System B is a hypothetical system that can compute all 10 tokens simultaneously, with each token's computation also taking 100ms.
Why does System A take approximately 10 times longer than System B to produce the full sequence?
