V3 is the current DDR5 / PCIe 5.0 generation and reads as 'new or nearly-new' stock. Intel V3 rack/tower models (SR630/SR650/SR850/SR950 V3, ST650 V3) run 4th/5th Gen Xeon Scalable (Sapphire/Emerald Rapids); the AMD SR665 V3 runs EPYC Genoa/Turin with far higher core counts (up to 160). Buyers get large memory bandwidth and PCIe 5.0 NVMe/GPU headroom, priced accordingly — most enter the SA refurb channel only lightly used. ST250 V3 is the entry exception (single-socket Xeon E-2400/6300).
