Analysis
The c8gb.48xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8gb series with 192 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton4 (up to 2.8 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the c8g.48xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $7.66/hour, 33% less ($2,715 a month). The other variants are the c8i.48xlarge at $9.00, the c8gd.48xlarge at $9.41 and the c8a.48xlarge at $10.35.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Frankfurt saves $1,154 a month per instance: $11.38/hour against $12.96/hour, a 14% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer compute optimized types: 82% of the 291 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0592 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for a newer processor or a specialised configuration. On demand it is $11.38/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $8,304 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 10 of 14 current types with 192 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $7.34/hour.
