Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton4-based M8g, R8g, and C8gn nodes

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton4-based M8g, R8g, and C8gn node families for Valkey and Memcached, offering up to 47% higher throughput and 43% lower P99 latency.

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton4-based M8g, R8g, and C8gn node families for Valkey and Memcached. Graviton4-based nodes deliver up to 47% higher throughput, up to 43% lower P99 latency, and up to 31% better price-performance for on-demand pricing over equivalent-size Graviton3-based nodes, depending on node family, size, and workload configuration. These nodes also offer more memory per node compared to equivalent Graviton3-based nodes; for example, an m8g.8xlarge provides 124.65 GiB versus 103.68 GiB on an m7g.8xlarge, up to 20% more memory at the same node size. C8gn nodes offer up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth, enabling you to scale performance and throughput while optimizing the cost of running network-intensive workloads. M8g, R8g, and C8gn nodes are available in sizes from large to 16xlarge across over 30 AWS Regions, including AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China Regions.
