Analysis
The g6e.2xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the g6e series with 8 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R13 (up to 2.6 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the g6f.2xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 costs $0.4750/hour, 79% less ($1,290 a month). The other variants are the g6.2xlarge at $0.9776.
The newer g7e.2xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) is 50% dearer at $3.36/hour.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $737 a month per instance: $2.24/hour against $3.25/hour, a 45% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, Ireland, London, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Nothing else with 8 vCPUs and similar memory is cheaper: among 3 current same-shape types it has the lowest on-demand price.
It carries 1 GPU with 48 GB of GPU memory, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. It has local instance storage (1 x 450 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 20 Gigabit.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer gpu instance types: 81% of the 78 current types in the family cost less than its $0.2803 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the accelerators. On demand it is $2.24/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $1,637 for a 730-hour month.
