Analysis
The m7g.xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m7g series with 4 vCPUs and 16 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 $105 a month per instance: $0.1166/hour against $0.2601/hour, a 123% spread.
It is the cheapest of the 5 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The m7a.xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 costs 42% more, and the m7i-flex.xlarge, the m7i.xlarge and the m7gd.xlarge also sit above it.
At $0.1632/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $119 a month, the m7g.xlarge 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.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($6.72 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer m8g.xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 10% dearer at $0.1795/hour.
It is size 3 of 8 in the m7g series. Stepping up to the m7g.2xlarge gives 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $119 more a month. Dropping to the m7g.large saves $59.57 a month.
