Analysis
The x8g.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the x8g series with 96 vCPUs and 1536 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton4 (up to 2.7 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 16 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Nothing else with 96 vCPUs and similar memory is cheaper: among 3 current same-shape types it has the lowest on-demand price.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Frankfurt saves $2,723 a month per instance: $9.38/hour against $13.11/hour, a 40% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Mumbai, Singapore and Tokyo, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
It is the cheapest of the 3 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The x8aedz.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R05 costs 194% more, and the x8i.24xlarge also sit above it.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer memory optimized types: 75% of the 385 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0977 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the extra memory per vCPU. On demand it is $9.38/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $6,847 for a 730-hour month.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $5.78/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 62% of the time; three years brings it to $3.20/hour, 66% below on demand.
