Analysis
The m7g.16xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m7g series with 64 vCPUs and 256 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 $1,676 a month per instance: $1.87/hour against $4.16/hour, a 123% spread.
It is the cheapest of the 5 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The m7a.16xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 costs 42% more, and the m7i-flex.16xlarge, the m7i.16xlarge and the m7gd.16xlarge also sit above it.
At $2.61/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $1,906 a month, the m7g.16xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 11% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0408.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 6.0% more than the m6g.16xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($107 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer m8g.16xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 10% dearer at $2.87/hour.
It is the largest of the 8 m7g sizes. Dropping to the m7g.12xlarge saves $477 a month.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $1.73/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 66% of the time; three years brings it to $1.18/hour, 55% below on demand.
