Windows 95 ran very satisfactorily on high end 486's and even top end 386's.
As far as I remember a numeric co-processor or 486 DX processors were
necessary and it is this that may have led to 386's and 486 SX's being
dumped. I remember sticking a Windows 95 demo disk into on old (top end in
its day) 386 and to my surprise receiving the message 'OK for Windows 95'
or similar.
