Analysis
The m5n.24xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m5n series with 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Platinum 8259 (Cascade Lake) (up to 3.1 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m5a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7571 costs $4.13/hour, 28% less ($1,156 a month). The other variants are the m5.24xlarge at $4.61, the m5ad.24xlarge at $4.94 and the m5d.24xlarge at $5.42.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $1,191 a month per instance: $5.71/hour against $7.34/hour, a 29% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Mumbai and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $5.71/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $4,170 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 59th percentile per vCPU ($0.0595 per vCPU-hour) and the 59th percentile per GiB ($0.0149 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 14 of 28 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the hpc6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $2.88/hour.
It is the largest of the 8 m5n sizes. Dropping to the m5n.16xlarge saves $1,390 a month.
