Analysis
The c7gd.12xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c7gd series with 48 vCPUs and 96 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton3 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the c7g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $1.74/hour, 20% less ($319 a month). The other variants are the c7i-flex.12xlarge at $2.03, the c7i.12xlarge at $2.14 and the c7a.12xlarge at $2.46.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $1,458 a month per instance: $1.38/hour against $3.38/hour, a 144% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the c6gd.12xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($244 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer c8gd.12xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $2.35/hour.
On demand it costs $2.18/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $1,589 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 44th percentile per vCPU ($0.0454 per vCPU-hour) and the 47th percentile per GiB ($0.0227 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (2 x 1425 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 22500 Megabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 14 of 30 current types with 48 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $1.63/hour.
