Well I've got an Intel i7 but I'm not at all convinced my rig will be enough! The game looks like it'll be stunning!
I'm wondering about modelling ship crew members because if you strafe those guys there's bound to be a gory mess unless they just disappear, which would be a bit unrealistic. I do seem to recall Oleg mentioning that flocks of gulls would not produce blood splatter when hit, so it would stand to reason that people wouldn't be treated any differently.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing "blood n' guts" depicted as long as it was done in a realistic way...
