Analysis
The p2.16xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the p2 series with 64 vCPUs and 732 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell) (up to 2.3 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 11.44 GiB of memory per vCPU.
The newer p3.16xlarge on Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell) is 70% dearer at $24.48/hour.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Singapore saves $9,554 a month per instance: $14.40/hour against $27.49/hour, a 91% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo and London, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
It carries 16 GPUs, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. Storage is EBS only. Network: 20 Gigabit.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer gpu instance types: 75% of the 78 current types in the family cost less than its $0.2250 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the accelerators. On demand it is $14.40/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $10,512 for a 730-hour month.
It is the largest of the 3 p2 sizes. Dropping to the p2.8xlarge saves $5,256 a month.
Windows Server roughly adds 20% to the bill at $17.34/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
