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).
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.
