Analysis
The m8idb.96xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8idb series with 384 vCPUs and 1536 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 m8i.96xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) costs $20.32/hour, 45% less ($11,928 a month). The other variants are the m8id.96xlarge at $25.06, the m8ib.96xlarge at $32.08 and the m8in.96xlarge at $32.08.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $7,675 a month per instance: $36.66/hour against $47.17/hour, a 29% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Frankfurt, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer general purpose types: 93% of the 354 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0955 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the local NVMe disk. On demand it is $36.66/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $26,762 for a 730-hour month.
It has local instance storage (6 x 3800 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 400 Gigabit.
It is the largest of the 11 m8idb sizes. Dropping to the m8idb.48xlarge saves $13,381 a month.
