This article is pretty terrible and shows that the author doesn't know much about PC gaming in general... The reason why SoM required 6gbs of vram is because that is for Ultra textures for 4k resolution and SoM runs pretty well in 2gb video cards on high settings...

And Ubisoft games have always been known to have bad porting when it comes to PC games, specially Unity. And for Far Cry 4, there is a fix in order to run ur games on a Dual Core CPU and it runs fine. And there are just so many other things wrong with this article like how they are using Alienware of all things to show PC gaming costs but every PC gamer knows that Alienware over prices everything
Not to say that the requirements havn't gone up but hes making it sound wayy worse than it really is
