Probably not, it'll be an incremental improvement for sure, so "more" games will likely work at a playable speed, but not all. Remember, some games use features that are extremely expensive to emulate - some don't even work on the latest desktop CPUs at full speed in some cases.
Plus, many of the issues with performance end up being due to things like GPU drivers being inefficient or missing useful features - sometimes these cause things like excess synchronisation between the CPU and GPU, which means the performance doesn't even scale directly with improved CPU performance - as much of the time is waiting on the overhead of the synchronization and the communication fabric rather than the processing units themselves.
