Analysis
The r7gd.16xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r7gd series with 64 vCPUs and 512 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton3 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the r7g.16xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $3.43/hour, 21% less ($677 a month). The other variants are the r7i.16xlarge at $4.23, the r7a.16xlarge at $4.87 and the r7iz.16xlarge at $5.95.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $2,977 a month per instance: $2.82/hour against $6.89/hour, a 145% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the r6gd.16xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($488 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer r8gd.16xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $4.70/hour.
On demand it costs $4.35/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,179 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 30th percentile per vCPU ($0.0680 per vCPU-hour) and the 42nd percentile per GiB ($0.00851 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (2 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 30 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 13 of 39 current types with 64 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.16xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $3.23/hour.
