So, is there any plans on supporting that CPU in my motherboard? Its fm2+ so there shouldn't be any problems. I see latest A10-7890k and athlon x4 880k but no excavator as for now.
  Thanks in advance.

The Athlon x4 845 was released very recently, February 2016.
  The Athlon x4 845 is a Carrizo core processor, no other Carrizo type processors are included in the CPU support list. There might be a compatibility issue with the A55 chipset on your board and Carrizo core processors.
  AMD may not be supplying the CPU microcode for Carrizo processors and A55 chipset boards.
  The Athlon x4 845 supplies just 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes for video cards, and does not have integrated graphics.

Hi, Asus released updated bios for 4 mobos with A55 chipset (A55BM-PLUS, A55BM-A/USB3, A55BM-E, A55BM-K) in order to support the Carrizo cpu. So, what's the problem ?

 " rel="nofollow -   I also can not find it on the supported list, and also can not find BIOS update. I ordered this type of processor a few minutes ago. Will it work?  Thank you a lot.
