Not generally in the short term, but over the longer term increased heat is going to make it more likely that the chip fails prematurely.
Of course, if you do something like not attaching the heatsink at all, it's plausible that heat could spike fast enough to cook the chip before throttling or overtemp protection can kick in/shut the system off.
