Beema can still be found in plenty of notebooks
Where? Because I've only seen Kabini.

Why are the Puma+ cores being called Carizzo-L when they're not XV cores?
exactly the same reason bay trail is called celeron and pentium..
Puma+ should be a new core though :hmm:Why are Nvidia GT730 cards called GT 730 when they're actually GT 630s?
Maaaaarketiiiiiing. xD
All 3 hardware giants do this every once in a while....rebrand things and sell them to people who don't know any better... Not like it's the first time for AMD, either *cough HD 7000/R 200 cough*
But the King of rebranding would be Nvidia for sure. 730's are 630's which are 440's.....The rebrand is so deep...Adele rolls in it. All their X00 to X30's have been rebrands or rebrands of rebrands for the past few generations XD But like I said...all 3 companies rebrand their stuff to sell it yet again...since that is cheaper than actually making new chips. Not to mention the production of the chips doesn't have enough failures/mistakes anymore to produce any actual chips that would be low end enough...so better take a previous generation and sell it again as a lower end of the next generation.
No Carrizo for desktop next year, correct?
http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/amd-announces-major-2014nov20.aspxThe Future of Compute event kicked off with the addition of the high performance processor codenamed Carrizo and mainstream processor codenamed Carrizo-L SoCs to the companys mobile Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) product roadmap. Designed as complete solutions for consumers looking to accelerate gaming and productivity applications and enable UHD 4K experiences, these latest mobile APUs are scheduled to ship in 1H 2015, with laptop and All-in-One systems expected in market by mid-year 2015.
Looks like this old rumor is correct:
http://www.eteknix.com/amd-carrizo-desktop-apus-delayed-kaveri-refresh-to-fill-the-gap/
"AMD will not release Carrizo desktop APUs until 2016 and instead they will refresh the Kaveri product stack to bring out the 5th generation of APUs based on that. Carrizo will still arrive in 2015 in its mobile form according to the source, but theres no sight of the desktop variant. "
AMD still has to get through 18 months of old technology before the new chips are available.
Unless Zen is delayed or something I doubt AMD is going to launch Carrizo desktop in 2016.

18 months from September means the 1H of 2016 for Zen.
so then there is no reason to not go with Excavator cores and the whole set of upgrades since "upscaling" it to Desktop shouldnt be much of a deal if they already made a smaller chip for mobile.
Carrizo is an SoC with the PCH ondie and not just on package like Intel's U and Y models. They had talked about coming up with a solution to work with the socket chipset, but it would have been a bit of work I imagine.
Carrizo for Desktop will be on two sockets;
FM2+(1H2015) and FS2(2H2015).
Carrizo-L for Desktop will be on one socket;
FS2(2H2015).
FS2 is the successor socket to AM1/FS1b.
Best guess;Have any details leaked or your best guess on the number of PCIe lanes these may have?
