This is all we know.

From the Confirmed Features thread:

Internal Architecture

Civ 5 Contains a new graphic processing system new built from scratch for the game. (Tomshardware)

The new graphics engine spawns numerous small jobs, which make more efficient use of multi-core CPUs as well as implementing a new message-passing architecture, in which the main game engine communicates with the graphics subsystem through messages. (Tomshardware)

The game has been optimized for DirectX 11, benefiting players even if they do not have DirectX 11 capable hardware. (Tomshardware)

Memory allocation has been completely discarded in Civ 5. (Tomshardware)

For the first time in the series the game is being developed for dual core processors, with support for up too 8 threads. Big Download

Please be courteous and read all the stickied threads to answer any basic questions you have.

As well they made a general statement that they would aim for a minimum of a 256meg graphics and a dual core CPU, remember that minimuim is generally only good for the smaller maps with all the bells and whisltes turned off.

buy the game, if your current Pc isnt good enough to run it properly, buy new pc, then play it. Civ is worth it.
