Analysis
The m8i.24xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8i series with 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) (up to 3.9 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m8g.24xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $4.31/hour, 15% less ($563 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m8gd.24xlarge at $5.54, the m8a.24xlarge at $5.84 and the m8id.24xlarge at $6.26.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $2,202 a month per instance: $5.08/hour against $8.10/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $5.08/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,709 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 44th percentile per vCPU ($0.0529 per vCPU-hour) and the 44th percentile per GiB ($0.0132 per GiB-hour).
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 5.0% more than the m7i.24xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) ($177 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor.
Looking beyond its own line, 9 of 28 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the hpc6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $2.88/hour.
