Analysis
The c7gd.16xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c7gd series with 64 vCPUs and 128 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.16xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $2.32/hour, 20% less ($426 a month). The other variants are the c7i-flex.16xlarge at $2.71, the c7i.16xlarge at $2.86 and the c7a.16xlarge at $3.28.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $1,944 a month per instance: $1.84/hour against $4.51/hour, a 144% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the c6gd.16xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($325 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer c8gd.16xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $3.14/hour.
On demand it costs $2.90/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $2,119 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 43rd 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 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 30 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 14 of 28 current types with 64 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the hpc7g.16xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $1.68/hour.
