This article is ridiculous. For 1080p 60fps that the consoles do 3GB of Vram and 6-8 Gb of system ram is plenty for any next gen game. Sure if you're looking to do 4k at ultra textures you might need 4Gb of Vram, but that is only if you want 4k with ultra textures. As for CPU's four threads is enough to play games at console quality. Dragon Age Inquisition is currently the game that requires the most cores to actually run decently. It runs find on i3's with two cores but four threads. Sure, you see performance gains with an i5's four cores or especially an i7's four cores and six-eight threads, but that isn't necessary.
