My mac cost like 7k with taxes. the R7G costs a lot less as I can turn it off and return it when i'm not using it. To do that processing job I'm paying less than a few bucks... less than that as I work for an company with aws discounts. At the rates I get for those machines it'd take several years to equal the 7k or so my mac cost when processing. And it's again absurdly faster. When you take into account actual streaming which is unfair as the data is in the same data center with the cloud instance, the job on the mac took 4 hours just to stream the data in and map it, and around 4 hours to reduce it. Both stages of that on the r7g were around 16 minutes. Again unfair as even though I have gigabit at home I'm still pulling 2-4x the throughput in the cloud instance from S3. My workloads aren't generally egressing tons of data from AWS, Im not running a file sharing service... that's not the majority of our costs. I'm not just bulk serving data from S3, I'm doing a lot of processing on data. anyway, I provided as close to I can on numbers. Take it or leave it on if you believe me.
