No, but in manually collected ones you usually have complete control over when an allocation happens, and often you can keep everything entirely on the stack. That's one advantage C would have over Go for example.
Of course, in the end, it doesn't matter as much as people make it out to, because you can easily blow the stack in C. In reality, one of the worst disadvantages of garbage collectors is latency, and Go's GC is best-in-class in that respect.
And, obviously, while Go is pretty competitive in memory usage to many higher level languages, in my experience you can still be much, much more frugal on memory when coding in C.
