Analysis
The c6in.4xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c6in series with 16 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the c6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.5440/hour, 40% less ($265 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the c6a.4xlarge at $0.6120, the c6gd.4xlarge at $0.6144 and the c6i.4xlarge at $0.6800.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer compute optimized types: 78% of the 291 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0567 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for a newer processor or a specialised configuration. On demand it is $0.9072/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $662 for a 730-hour month.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $356 a month per instance: $0.9072/hour against $1.39/hour, a 54% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 24 of 31 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c7g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $0.5800/hour.
It is size 4 of 9 in the c6in series. Stepping up to the c6in.8xlarge gives 32 vCPUs and 64 GiB for $662 more a month. Dropping to the c6in.2xlarge saves $331 a month.
