Sorry where are these .50c many core servers you speak of exactly?

Azure's HB120rs_v3 size is about 36c per hour right now with Spot pricing in East US. These use 3rd generation AMD EPYC "Milan" processors.

The instances with the 4th generation "Genoa-X" processors (HB176rs_v4) cost about $2.88 per hour. The HX176rs_v4 model with 1.7 TB of memory is $3.46 per hour.

Are these actually attainable, as in I can log in and launch an instances with these specifications right now, or are they just listings? I ask because literally last week I was unable to launch similar instances on AWS despite those specs being listed as available and online.

I could. Availability tends to be region-dependent with all clouds.
