Come on people,an i5 is the most typical cpu for gaming.
Even a 2500 is enough.
1050ti is an 150€ gpu.
I fully understand people that cannot afford a new pc and are stuck with very old specs,but the pc used to demonstrate the improvements is low tier among gaming rigs.
It's a nice baseline so you can know what to expect from your rig.
I have an i5 2500 and a 7850 and i expect 20-25% less improvement than shown in the video.
Still an improvement though.

Not everyone lives in countries with a good salary level, for some 150-200$ it's a monthly salary.

I do not blame the GGG, but why they write such system requirements then, and test the game on a computer that is at least 5 times more powerful ???

Depends on where you live..

Intel i5-6500
GeForce 1050 Ti
8 GB of RAM

is not really considered normal or average pc over here xD

I'm running x4 860k quad on 3.7Ghz, GTX 750 GS 2GB and 12 GB Ram DDR3, and I was saving up for 8 months to buy that xD
Which is, by far what the most people use, x4 860k or 880k, because intels are like, literally double the price of AMD, and 80% of people here work for minimal wage, around 200-220 euro per month, which is barely enough for family, bills and food, god forbid you're smoker as well :)
One i5 2500 is nearly our monthly income xD
Over here, that's quite a bit more expensive setup than usual budget setup people use, but hopefully it will run decently.

Worst-case refers to the longest amount of time it takes to render a frame, as opposed to the average frame rate. Slow frames are known as "spikes".

The major goal for 3.0.0 was to reduce the number of spikes so that the game always runs smoothly, even when there are a lot of skills being used.

In the first version of the Beta, we had already addressed quite a few places that CPU spikes were coming from.

One example of this is pathfinding. If there were a lot of enemies on screen, you would get a fast average frame rate, but would also get a lot of CPU spikes if many monsters chose to pathfind simultaneously. This is one of the many reasons why 3.0.0 Beta performance is better than 2.6.2.
