The parent seemed to be specifically calling out Intel spot instances.

The key part being the cheapest available Graviton and Intel spot instances:

a1/32gb/16vcpu (early graviton) @ 8c and

versus:

M5zn/48gb/12vcpu (late Intel) @ 12c

Perhaps that will change as Graviton ages and availability changes.

Fair enough - I was trying to provide some data showing that Graviton is on par and exceeds cost/performance value in some cases.

Graviton isn't standing still - AWS bought Annapura labs in 2015, so while older versions of Graviton will obviously shift left in terms of it's value, AWS is going to continue to push in that direction. Graviton 3 was recently announced [0].
