Analysis
The m6in.12xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6in series with 48 vCPUs and 192 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m6g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $1.85/hour, 45% less ($1,090 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.12xlarge at $2.07, the m6gd.12xlarge at $2.17 and the m6i.12xlarge at $2.30.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $1,448 a month per instance: $3.34/hour against $5.33/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $3.34/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $2,439 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 73rd percentile per vCPU ($0.0696 per vCPU-hour) and the 73rd percentile per GiB ($0.0174 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 24 of 36 current types with 48 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m7g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $1.96/hour.
It is size 6 of 9 in the m6in series. Stepping up to the m6in.16xlarge gives 64 vCPUs and 256 GiB for $813 more a month. Dropping to the m6in.8xlarge saves $813 a month.
