Analysis
The m7g.12xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m7g series with 48 vCPUs and 192 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton3 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $1,257 a month per instance: $1.40/hour against $3.12/hour, a 123% spread.
At $1.96/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $1,430 a month, the m7g.12xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 10% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0408.
It is the cheapest of the 5 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The m7a.12xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 costs 42% more, and the m7i-flex.12xlarge, the m7i.12xlarge and the m7gd.12xlarge also sit above it.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 6.0% more than the m6g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($80.59 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer m8g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 10% dearer at $2.15/hour.
It is size 7 of 8 in the m7g series. Stepping up to the m7g.16xlarge gives 64 vCPUs and 256 GiB for $477 more a month. Dropping to the m7g.8xlarge saves $477 a month.
