Analysis
The x1e.32xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the x1e series with 128 vCPUs and 3904 GiB of memory on High Frequency Intel Xeon E7-8880 v3 (Haswell) (up to 2.3 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 30.5 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the x1.32xlarge on High Frequency Intel Xeon E7-8880 v3 (Haswell) costs $13.34/hour, 50% less ($9,746 a month).
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $18,492 a month per instance: $26.69/hour against $52.02/hour, a 95% spread. It is not offered in London, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer memory optimized types: 97% of the 385 current types in the family cost less than its $0.2085 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the extra memory per vCPU. On demand it is $26.69/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $19,482 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 1 of 2 current types with 128 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the x2iedn.32xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Icelake) at $26.68/hour.
It has local instance storage (2 x 1920 GB SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 25 Gigabit.
