Gophercon was a few weeks ago in Denver. At the same time the "National Cattlemen's Beef Association" was also holding a conference at the convention center. My coworkers and I joked that we should ask them to make us burgers.
The larger point is those recommended (not minimum) hardware requirements are still for the special edition and aren't blowing anyone out of the water.
Skyrim came out in 2011. I understand this is the "special edition" but that usually just means better textures, not a new engine. The recommended hardware requirements are not exactly cutting edge for the PC version of the remaster (i5 2400, 8 gigs ram, GTX 780).
