I'm sure it plays a part, but probably lesser so than the actual physics (sensor size, density etc). The processor is really there to correct and tidy up what falls on the sensor, so in some regards it is a bit like Lightroom or Photoshop - yes it can and does improve the quality, but only so much. There is only so much you can do with post-processing which is effectively what the image processor is doing.
