By 2021, used Xeon processors (Haswell and Broadwell) were abundant and affordable, allowing users to build systems with 10–22 cores for a fraction of the cost of new hardware. intel c612 chipset 2021

Surprisingly, PCIe generation did not advance from C612 to C62x. Both are PCIe 3.0. The real jump is PCIe 4.0 on Ice Lake-based C621A (2021), but those were expensive and scarce. Singh, R

In the fast-paced world of enterprise hardware, six years can feel like a geological epoch. By 2021, Intel had already ushered in generations of newer platforms, from the X299 (Skylake-X) to the workstation-focused C62x series (C621, C622, C624) supporting Cascade Lake and Cooper Lake. By 2021, used Xeon processors (Haswell and Broadwell)
