There were some high CPU requirements too.

It was rather amusing to hear the Ryzen 7 1700X (3.4GHz, 8c/16t) in my desktop was not good enough to run an OS.

Your CPU is missing HW instructions for VBS, a new requirement now, that's why Windows 11 isn't officially supported. It's nothing to do with raw compute power of the CPU.

What new ISA extension? I think the last one was iommu which has existed since early core iX.
