It doesn't help how this is an old article posted recently on here after the whole "DS II PS4 vs PC/360/PS3" thread and how IGN didn't mention PC and Xb1 were going to get the same version and then people started spouting over there and on YT that PC was ultimately weak compared to the PS4 and then we get an author of the article spreading the same kind of myhtical crap around, it doesn't surprise me as to why it's posted here and not under PC dicussion, heck I don't even know why the op wanted to dig up an old article since op isn't really coming from the PC space, last I checked it was the PS4 space based from profile info.

I'm also finding it hard to believe that current gens are apparently free of blame when it comes to ports considering their hardware is technically outdated and provided from a weaker manufacturer.

 

-so its not true that the evil within and other newer games require at least an i7 or equilant cpus with 4+ cores?

No it isn't true. With my 2threaded cpu I can play The Evil Within at 30-40fps, high, 1080p. The only game that benefits from more threads as a requirement is Dragon Age Inquisition, and that is because it is horrendously optimized. Other games benefit from more threads but the fps differences are less than 10 fps.
