depends what version, but I'm pretty sure a modern Core i7 should run it just fine. definitely better than my Ryzen 5, which already does it well enough (well enough in BeamNG terms, which is well... at least around 30 fps with traffic loaded)
I have a 7th gen from 2017, I can spawn like 5 cars before dropping below 50fps in 2K with mostly high graphics, an 11th gen should be fine
I use a 10th gen i5 in mine and its alright, I however use a crappy thinkpad to occasionally stress it on beam. The thing cant even run a game for goodness sake.
