g7.8xlarge pricing and specs in US East (N. Virginia)
32 vCPU · 128 GiB · 100 Gigabit · Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids)
$4.0862/hour on-demand · $2,983/month (Linux, Shared)
g7.8xlarge is a GPU EC2 instance with 32 vCPU and 128 GiB, generation 7 of the g family. On-demand it costs $4.0862 an hour, about $2,983 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $2.5743 an hour and pays for itself above roughly 459 hours a month; below that, on-demand is cheaper. The three-year options go down to $1.7653 an hour, 57% below on-demand. The newer g7e.8xlarge offers the same size for $5.2682 an hour, 29% more. US East (N. Virginia) is already the cheapest region for g7.8xlarge.
