What makes you so sure it is all the silicon difference and not just AWS pricing their product at a more profitable price point? These costs also ignore transferring and storing massive data sets in the cloud. In general the cloud is a huge pain and I'd avoid it like the plague unless I was caught and really, really needed the scalability. But even then that only works if you have a scalable implementation of the algorithm you are working on.
