Analysis
The c7i.48xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c7i series with 192 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) (up to 3.2 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
It is the cheapest of the 2 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The c7a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 costs 15% more, and no others also sit above it.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $3,385 a month per instance: $8.57/hour against $13.20/hour, a 54% spread.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $5.67/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 66% of the time; three years brings it to $3.77/hour, 56% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $17.40/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
On demand it costs $8.57/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $6,255 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 40th percentile per vCPU ($0.0446 per vCPU-hour) and the 44th percentile per GiB ($0.0223 per GiB-hour).
The newer c8i.48xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) is 5.0% dearer at $9.00/hour.
