Analysis
The m8id.48xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8id series with 192 vCPUs and 768 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.48xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $8.62/hour, 31% less ($2,856 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m8i.48xlarge at $10.16, the m8gd.48xlarge at $11.07 and the m8a.48xlarge at $11.69.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $2,671 a month per instance: $12.53/hour against $16.19/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 $12.53/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $9,147 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, 11 of 18 current types with 192 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the hpc7a.96xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 at $7.20/hour.
It has local instance storage (3 x 3800 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 75000 Megabit.
