Big names like Cray, Google, AWS, and Microsoft are already on board.

The next generation of the Zen chipset has already been designed.

EPYC Rome is likely being priced s.t. Xeon's would have to be sold at a loss to match $/perf.

"on board" in this case means producing a full line of servers with the AMD chips, not just being interested in them.

People can't buy interesting ideas, and businesses aren't going to change system vendors overnight.

Wait, what? All of the above companies are basing major products on EPYC Rome. Have you read the press releases?
