Analysis
The m6in.16xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6in series with 64 vCPUs and 256 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.16xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $2.46/hour, 45% less ($1,454 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.16xlarge at $2.76, the m6gd.16xlarge at $2.89 and the m6i.16xlarge at $3.07.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $1,931 a month per instance: $4.46/hour against $7.10/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $4.46/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,252 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, 26 of 35 current types with 64 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m7g.16xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $2.61/hour.
It is size 7 of 9 in the m6in series. Stepping up to the m6in.24xlarge gives 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB for $1,626 more a month. Dropping to the m6in.12xlarge saves $813 a month.
