Of course it is, that's exactly the point. 'Eventual consistency' is the name for situations where a race condition is acceptable and even a feature. It doesn't matter whether it are threads, processes or entirely different computers that are racing. Whether the data is shared via CPU cache, memory, disk or a network. We don't call it "failed eventual consistency" when a data race occurs.
