Nah like unless your game is a cpu intensive game (older games come into mind) any recent cpu will do just fine. Hell even a 5600 still chugs for 99% of all games
Cache is just a slight optimization and your gpu matters a lot more for gaming. The only other benefit is a bit better power draw, which is like nothing in the grand scheme of things.
