Today, yes. As I said before, the Vulkan version might throw all that up in the air. Mind you, if a Pentium anniversary edition at stock gets you 90fps minimum, then the thought that probably Vulkan won't get you any more, well how much more do you actually need? The last page in that article says that the Pentium is pegged at 90% to 100% cpu all the time, i3 at 70% and the bigger chips at 50%.
So, there is a chance that when the Vulkan patch is out you can run an Athlon X4 and still get good frame rates. Hopefully we will find out soon.
Edit: Given how bad the AMD graphics drivers have generally been for OpenGL games, I wonder how much uplift Radeons will get from Vulkan compared to Nvidia which you expect to do well anyway.

Check out the link I gave earlier, and if you want to spend money spend it on a GPU.
Worst CPU on the chart (a low clocked 4 core FX chip) to the best i7 gave just a 60% improvement.
At 1080p, the worst GPU (750ti) to the Titan X is 830% improvement in performance.
But generally, unless you are running a 750ti on an FX 4320, I expect you are having too much fun playing Doom already to much care
