Analysis
The g6e.4xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the g6e series with 16 vCPUs and 128 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.4xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 costs $0.9500/hour, 68% less ($1,500 a month). The other variants are the g6.4xlarge at $1.32.
The newer g7e.4xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) is 33% dearer at $4.00/hour.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $988 a month per instance: $3.00/hour against $4.36/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.
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 600 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 20 Gigabit.
It is size 3 of 8 in the g6e series. Stepping up to the g6e.8xlarge gives 32 vCPUs and 256 GiB for $1,113 more a month. Dropping to the g6e.2xlarge saves $556 a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.1184 to $0.4652 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
