Analysis
The g4ad.8xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the g4ad series with 32 vCPUs and 128 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R32 (up to 2.8 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Nothing else with 32 vCPUs and similar memory is cheaper: among 6 current same-shape types it has the lowest on-demand price.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $442 a month per instance: $1.73/hour against $2.34/hour, a 35% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
It carries 2 GPUs with 16 GB of GPU memory, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. It has local instance storage (1200 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 15 Gigabit.
At $1.73/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $1,266 a month, the g4ad.8xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy gpu instance capacity: only 7% of the 78 current gpu instance types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0542.
It is the cheapest of the 2 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The g4dn.8xlarge on Intel Xeon Family costs 25% more, and no others also sit above it.
