The computers wouldn't be cheaper in all cases (only in some), but the network traffic would be, by over an order of magnitude. Closer to two, actually. And that's before factoring in bulk discounts.

The branded public cloud overcharges a lot for network traffic. It's quite ridiculous. You don't even have to roll out your own network to avoid these costs. Just switching to an off-brand cloud helps a lot.
