Apparently you can get access to these machines immediately in Azure...

  Like the sound of the high performance #AMD EPYC #Milan-X processors from today’s 
  @LisaSu keynote?

  As far as I know, the only place you can actually get access to use Milan-X today is via Microsoft 
  #Azure #HPC HBv3

  You can sign up at http://aka.ms/MilanXPreview

AMD made some pretty impressive claims, like their MI200 GPUs are 4.5x faster than NVIDIA A100s. and one of these GPUs will be ~4x faster than an entire Summit node. Their Milan (Zen4) CPUs will have 96 up to 96 cores, and their Bergamo "cloud native" CPUs will have up to 128 cores.
