Analysis
The gr6.8xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the gr6 series with 32 vCPUs and 256 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R13 (up to 2.6 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $1,250 a month per instance: $2.45/hour against $4.16/hour, a 70% spread. It is not offered in Ireland and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
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 450 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 25 Gigabit.
It is the largest of the 2 gr6 sizes. Dropping to the gr6.4xlarge saves $662 a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.0765 to $0.0962 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
On demand it costs $2.45/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $1,786 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for gpu instance types at the 30th percentile per vCPU ($0.0765 per vCPU-hour) and the 6th percentile per GiB ($0.00956 per GiB-hour).
