Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

A three-tape Turing machine can be converted to a single-tape Turing machine without any loss of computational power, by simulating the movements of the tapes on the single tape. While the conversion may result in slower computation, it does not change the fact that the two Turing machines are equivalent in their computational power.
