Analysis
The x2idn.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the x2idn series with 96 vCPUs and 1536 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Icelake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 16 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $6,938 a month per instance: $10.00/hour against $19.51/hour, a 95% spread.
It is the cheapest of the 2 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The x2iedn.24xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Icelake) costs 100% more, and no others also sit above it.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer memory optimized types: 77% of the 385 current types in the family cost less than its $0.1042 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the local NVMe disk. On demand it is $10.00/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $7,303 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 1 of 3 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the x8g.24xlarge on AWS Graviton4 at $9.38/hour.
It has local instance storage (2 x 1425 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 75 Gigabit.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $6.16/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 62% of the time; three years brings it to $3.21/hour, 68% below on demand. Windows Server roughly adds 44% to the bill at $14.42/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
