If going to v3, compared v2.... For AMD, we would loose Opteron Gen4 and Opteron Gen5 models, but keep EPYC/Ryzen all generations. For Intel, we would loose Denverton, IvyBridge, Nehalem, SandyBridge, Snowridge, Westmere, but keep Skylake, SapphireRapids, Icelake, Haswell, GraniteRapids, Cooperlake, Cascadelake, Broadwell. Personally I'd say v2 is the better first step, as plenty of those generations we'd loose are still pretty relevant, even if not the state of the art shipping today.
