Hi,
Yes if all the load is consumed by CPUs, but it's quite rare. For example
with a database the most time is spend on disks I/O, and a 16cpu server
won't help here, you can be overload with a load average > 1 in this case.
The "good" load average is very specific for each server/application. CPU
number is a just a part of the "load" equation.
