Analysis
The g4ad.xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the g4ad series with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R32 (up to 2.8 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $96.57 a month per instance: $0.3785/hour against $0.5108/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 1 GPU with 8 GB of GPU memory, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. It has local instance storage (150 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
It is the cheapest of the 2 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The g4dn.xlarge on Intel Xeon Family costs 39% more, and no others also sit above it.
It is the smallest of the 5 g4ad sizes. Stepping up to the g4ad.2xlarge gives 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $119 more a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.0542 to $0.0946 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
