That's a good point, CPU people, was the jump from Ivy to Haswell as big as Sandy to Ivy?
From what I recall, a 4.0Ghz Ivy was equivalent to roughly 4.3Ghz Sandy. (Very much layman's here, bear with me)
Was the jump from Ivy to Haswell kinda the same, as in 4.0Ghz Haswell was roughly 4.3Ghz Ivy?
If so, wouldn't that mean a 4.0Ghz Haswell would be roughly equal to 4.6Ghz Sandy?

The math isn't quite as clearcut as that, and really benchmarks are the only way to get a good answer.
Comparing the two is rather interesting.
z77 or z68 vs B85, H87, or Z87. Aftermarket CPU cooler or stock.
I think the costs would balance each other out. Unless there is a strict budget, i5-4670k can be clocked to around 4.3 Ghz with relative ease. More if you get lucky. Then you would have roughly the same performance as the 2500k at 4.8Ghz with all the SATA III and USB 3.0 ports.

) still as good as haswell and would be just wasting moneyNextGenesis88

Which is why I can't understand why people sometimes think they need to upgrade from an i5 2500k. These bad boys should have some long legs and high overclocks. 
I bought a 2500k and Z68x-UD4 for under $400 just because I couldn't pass up the sale, but even then I still use my i7 950 and G1 Guerrilla as my main rig. Go figure. If I were logical I would try and see what I could sell them for. I got lucky with both chips and got great overclockers though.
