Analysis
The m9gd.8xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m9gd series with 32 vCPUs and 128 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton5 (up to 3.3 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m9g.8xlarge on AWS Graviton5 costs $1.57/hour, 22% less ($325 a month).
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $429 a month per instance: $2.01/hour against $2.60/hour, a 29% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London and Mumbai, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 9.0% more than the m8gd.8xlarge on AWS Graviton4 ($121 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor.
On demand it costs $2.01/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $1,468 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 65th percentile per vCPU ($0.0629 per vCPU-hour) and the 65th percentile per GiB ($0.0157 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 23 of 37 current types with 32 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m6g.8xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $1.23/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 17 Gigabit.
