Will the new Classic WOW system requirements will be close to the same as the original Vanilla Classic WOW system requirements?

Does anyone know what the Minimum and Recommended system requirements for the upcoming Classic WOW will be?
I’ll bet that Walmart-special watch you’re wearing right now will be able to play it.

Basically any modern computer with half decent integrated graphics will run it on low settings 60fps.
No.
Use the Retail minimum specifications.
Windows 7, 64-bit
GEForce GTX 560, Radeon 7850 or Intel Graphics 530
4GB of RAM
70GB HDD
if you dont have an i9 9900k overclocked to 5.1ghz and two 2080ti in SLI. Don’t bother. You are looking at 99% gpu usage with that alone. Best stick to 2d side scrollers.
The guy who made that post also has a Video on it granted it is unofficial requirements
All we know is that the new Classic client is using the modern engine so it will require DX11 at least, but It will probably require less ram, and we already know from the beta it will only use 4.61GB of disk space.
i am able to run retail wow on very low settings smoothly at 1366x768 resolution but almost only in classic zones, as those were the zones i mostly tested and got good frame rates, this was in westfall, elwynn forest, etc. stormind is a bit laggy / choppy, but still should be in the acceptable frame rates. in westfall, i remember it was usually 50-60 i think, maybe dropping down at most to 42 fps.
i did test bfa zones a little and it was bit laggy, dropping down to as little as 19 fps i think, but averaging around 30 fps, so it was playable on lowest settings but barely, highest was like 45 fps or so, although some random bfa places like caves, it went up to like 55-60 fps 
the laptop i am using is the lenovo l440. it only has 192 MB of video memory usable for the intel hd 4600 graphics of the i5-4200m chip with hyperthreading disabled upon testing. the system also has 8 GB of ram and a ssd. the video memory is the bottleneck as it reaches 99 percent usage / 100 as detected in hwmonitor. i would assume that if it had at least 256 MB, it would run the game perfect in classic zones and that’s how much video memory you generally needed for high end systems back then, which was a geforce 6800 regular version or gt version with 256 MB of video memory, this is what the benchmarks showed a while back.
however, the newer classic version will be a bit different of course. so basically if your computer has slightly better specs than my laptop, then you should be able to run wow classic smoothly on lower settings, but this is with the assumption that wow classic’s requirements are either the same as the retail one and / or slighty lower. hopefully it’s slightly lower as i’m limited to the lenovo l440 i have for some time.
