Making the game run on a 4 cores Intel / AMD Ryzen CPU as minimum, make sense to me and let the game being able to make use of 8 cores CPU as a recommended setting and maybe more for the ultimate experience
Sounds comparably steep in parts, considering that Ryzen's been just out for three years, but could be true. DOS2's official requirements were a bit ambitious, it just stated "Core i5", which incorporates a wide range of CPUs (including ones from 2009/2010).
But the four core prediction will likely turn out to be true. I have to upgrade my old CPU in particular in the coming months, guess we may have to wait and test it. There will likely also be a couple benchmarks, given the popularity of the franchise, like for DOS2:
