The pricing seems to be around 10% cheaper than the equivalent Intel based servers (m5a.4xlarge $0.688 per Hour vs m5.4xlarge $0.768 per Hour, similar for other instance sizes). I was expecting AMD servers to be somewhat cheaper, but given that the server CPU is only one of many components I guess the savings can't be that much more. Would be interesting to see how the actual performance per $ is different.

Exciting to have AMD on AWS though. Still far more expensive than rolling your own hardware or getting bare metal servers.
