Analysis
The g6.16xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the g6 series with 64 vCPUs and 256 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R13 (up to 2.6 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $1,735 a month per instance: $3.40/hour against $5.77/hour, a 70% spread. It is not offered in Ireland and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Nothing else with 64 vCPUs and similar memory is cheaper: among 4 current same-shape types it has the lowest on-demand price.
It carries 1 GPU with 24 GB of GPU memory, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. It has local instance storage (2 x 940 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 25 Gigabit.
It is 17% cheaper than the older g5.16xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R32, so staying on the previous generation costs more as well as being slower.
At $3.40/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $2,480 a month, the g6.16xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy gpu instance capacity: only 5% of the 78 current gpu instance types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0531.
