Analysis
The x8i.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the x8i series with 96 vCPUs and 1536 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) (up to 3.9 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 16 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $7,285 a month per instance: $10.50/hour against $20.48/hour, a 95% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central and London, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Within the same generation and size, the x8g.24xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $9.38/hour, 11% less ($821 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the x8aedz.24xlarge at $27.61.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer memory optimized types: 84% of the 385 current types in the family cost less than its $0.1094 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the extra memory per vCPU. On demand it is $10.50/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $7,668 for a 730-hour month.
It is size 8 of 12 in the x8i series. Stepping up to the x8i.32xlarge gives 128 vCPUs and 2048 GiB for $2,556 more a month. Dropping to the x8i.16xlarge saves $2,556 a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.1094 to $0.1269 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
