Here is the Tech Net article with the several scenarios : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn383626.aspx
In resume teh recommended is a 3.1 GHz (64-bit processor) multi-core with 16gb of RAM, 160-GB hard disk with a60-GB system partition, Gigabit Ethernet adapter (10/100/1000baseT PHY/MAC), A router or firewall that supports IPv4 NAT or IPv6.

well it depend on what windows server2012 will be after installation.because you can't put fixed hardware specs for everything,for example :
if you will use Hyper-V so you need high resources to make the OS stable for your work as you can't take risk try if it will be stable or not.
but if you will use it for AD DC only you can use the recommended from Microsoft.
any other options will raise your hardware for each adding option.
I always use Xeon prcessor and virtual technology on all my work.
hope I give you good short answer for your question and you can contact me for any further information.
To me I would not say that there is any minimum or recommended statistics to be used to have a server. It all depends on your needs and purpose of using the server, and again even just to install a server OS we have different minimum requirement with different flavour of Server(2003,2008,2012). So before installing or configuring a server doing a little home work will be good. May be in your case you may not needed16GB RAM and10TB storage, a simple4GB RAM and250GB hard drive will do your work. So in my opinion donot stick to any base line configuration.
CPU socket
1.4 GHz (64-bit processor) or faster for single core
1.3 GHz (64-bit processor) or faster for multi-core
3.1 GHz (64-bit processor) or faster multi-core
Memory (RAM)
2 GB
8 GB
Hard disks and available storage space
160 GB hard disk with a60 GB system partition
*Recommended hardware requirements to support Windows Server2012 Essentials maximum user and device limits.
Network adapter
Gigabit Ethernet adapter (10/100/1000baseT PHY/MAC).
Internet
Some functionality may require Internet access (fees may apply) or a Windows Live® ID Account.
Supported Client operating systems
Windows8, Windows7, Macintosh OS X version10.5 to10.8.
Router
A router or firewall that supports IPv4 NAT.
Additional requirements
Supported networking configuration

It depends on the use of the server, but in general, i would recommend at least3.1Ghz64-bit multicore processor,32 GB of RAM, and125 GB of storage.
Hi,
Official minimum requirement for installing windows2012 are,
Processor: Minimum:1.4 GHz64-bit Processor
RAM: Minimum:512 MB
Disk Space: Minimum:32 GB
Requirement are basically designed on the basis of features and application going to run on the machine.

Processor performance depends not only on the clock frequency of the processor, but also on the number of processor cores and the size of the processor cache. The following are the processor requirements for this product:
The following are the estimated RAM requirements for this product:
The following are the estimated minimum disk space requirements for the system partition.
You also must have the following:
The following items are not strictly required, but are necessary for certain features:
The supported network configuration for Windows Server Essentials is as follows:
The following are estimated system requirements for the Windows Server2012. If your computer has less than the "minimum" requirements, you will not be able to install this product correctly. Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration and the applications and features you install.
Processor
Minimum:1.4 GHz64-bit processor
RAM
Minimum:512 MB
Disk space requirements
Minimum:32 GB
Note:
Be aware that32 GB should be considered an absolute minimum value for successful installation. The system partition will need extra space for any of the following circumstances:
* If you install the system over a network.
* Computers with more than16 GB of RAM will require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.
