these are the minimum requirements.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements

why would anyone want to know what the maximum requirements are? i doubt anyone would out and purchase unnecessary hardware to max out their system.

what you want to know is ludicrous.
if it runs on a single core processor, it will run on an i7, just not as efficiently as programs that are written to run on i7 processors.
