It depends - some apps are cache hungry, others less so. Generally speaking, the law of diminishing returns applies to CPU cache - 2 mb cache/core is a bit better than 1mb, 3mb is a little better than 2, 4mb is slightly better than 3.
You can't really use cache size as a predictor of performance. You simply have to read reviews and stare at comparison graphs.
