Analysis
The m8id.24xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8id 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, 31% less ($1,428 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m8i.24xlarge at $5.08, the m8gd.24xlarge at $5.54 and the m8a.24xlarge at $5.84.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $1,335 a month per instance: $6.26/hour against $8.09/hour, a 29% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $6.26/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $4,573 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 68th percentile per vCPU ($0.0653 per vCPU-hour) and the 68th percentile per GiB ($0.0163 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 17 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.
It has local instance storage (2 x 2850 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 40000 Megabit.
