Analysis
The p5en.48xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the p5en series with 192 vCPUs and 2048 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) (up to 3.2 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 10.67 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $11,552 a month per instance: $63.30/hour against $79.12/hour, a 25% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, Ireland, London, Frankfurt, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Within the same generation and size, the p5.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 costs $55.04/hour, 13% less ($6,027 a month). The other variants are the p5e.48xlarge at $63.30.
It carries 8 GPUs with 141 GB HBM3e of GPU memory, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. It has local instance storage (8 x 3840 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 3200 Gigabit.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer gpu instance types: 89% of the 78 current types in the family cost less than its $0.3297 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the accelerators. On demand it is $63.30/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $46,206 for a 730-hour month.
