It's more accurate to compare dedicated boxes to reserved instances.

Reserved instances are simply a pricing construct. You're paying upfront for up to 24/7 usage, but you're running on the same pool as the standard instance. Dedicated instances, on the other hand, do what you're talking about but they're much pricier:

The comment you replied to didn't talk about what they do. I took it to mean it's more accurate from a price perspective.
