IMO there's a strong case for Haswel as the first "good enough" cpu. It's not a ton faster than sandy lake, but it adds AVX-2 and FMA3 which in lots of software can easily be a 2x performance difference. (and possibly more importantly, if you define that as your baseline, you can compile all x86 applications with the same arch without giving up much performance.
