How are people running Sequioa so smoothly on their 2013 Macbook Pros?

I have an early 2013 Macbook Pro 15" with i7 4 cores/8 threads and 8gb of ram and Nvidia GT650m. This struggles with Sonoma and even Ventura is kind of laggy. I just don't understand how ppl are running Sequioa running smoothly on their 2013 Macbooks, even ones with just dual core.
