Amazon ElastiCache now supports M7g and R7g Graviton3-based nodes
Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton3-based M7g and R7g node families. ElastiCache Graviton3 nodes deliver improved price-performance compared to Graviton2. As an example, when running ElastiCache for Redis on an R7g.4xlarge node, you can achieve up to 28% increased throughput (read and write operations per second) and up to 21% improved P99 latency, compared to running on R6g.4xlarge. In addition, these nodes deliver up to 25% higher networking bandwidth.

AWS Graviton3 processors are the latest generation of custom-designed AWS Graviton processors built on the AWS Nitro System. The Graviton3 processors offer several improvements over the Graviton2 processors, for example, Graviton3-based R7g and M7g are the first AWS instances to feature the latest DDR5 memory, which provides 50% more memory bandwidth compared to DDR4, enabling high-speed access to data in memory.
The M7g and R7g nodes are now available for Amazon ElastiCache in the following AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland and Frankfurt) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Sydney) regions. For complete information on pricing and regional availability, please refer to the Amazon ElastiCache pricing page. To get started, create a new cluster or upgrade to Graviton3 using the AWS Management Console, and get more information.
