Analysis
The m6in.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6in series with 16 vCPUs and 64 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.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.6160/hour, 45% less ($363 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.4xlarge at $0.6912, the m6gd.4xlarge at $0.7232 and the m6i.4xlarge at $0.7680.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $483 a month per instance: $1.11/hour against $1.78/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $1.11/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $813 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 37 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m7g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $0.6528/hour.
It is size 4 of 9 in the m6in series. Stepping up to the m6in.8xlarge gives 32 vCPUs and 128 GiB for $813 more a month. Dropping to the m6in.2xlarge saves $407 a month.
