According to a report published by CPU World, a pair of unreleased AMD Athlon X4 processors appeared in a supported CPU list on Gigabyte's website (since removed) long enough to give away some information about these new FM2+ models.

The CPUs in question are the Athlon X4 835 and Athlon X4 845, 65W quad-core parts that are both based on AMD's Excavator core, according to CPU World. The part numbers are AD835XACI43KA and AD845XACI43KA, which the CPU World report interprets:
"The 'I43' letters and digits in the part number signify Socket FM2+, 4 CPU cores, and 1 MB L2 cache per module, or 2MB in total. The last two letters 'KA' confirm that the CPUs are based on Carrizo design."
The report further states that the Athlon X4 835 will operate at 3.1 GHz, with 3.5 GHz for the X4 845. No Turbo Core frequency information is known for these parts.
There are(where?) also two
There are(where?) also two Kabini models in that list that never made it to AM1. If the picture’s lower part haven’t been cut they would be seen in the end of the list. So the appearance of these two models on the list does not guarantee that will be released. At least, if this was not a mistake, we have some kind of confirmation that the CPU part of Carrizo does work on FM2+ motherboards. The GPU part? Could we see full Carrizo APUs on the FM2+ latter or just Athlons?
I’d settle for a solid review
I’d settle for a solid review of a Carrizo mobile device at this point.
