New AMD A-Series mobile APUs sighted

Current generation of mobile AMD Accelerated Processing units (APUs) was launched in June of this year. The initial line-up was comprised of 8 dual- and quad-core microprocessors from E2- and A-Series, including 4 models with averaged maximum power 35 Watt. No additional models were released or announced (or sighted) since then. In August, Hewlett Packard updated "Maintenance and Service Guide" for HP Pavilion g7 line of notebooks, and added three new A-Series model numbers (PDF file), A4-3320M, A6-3420M and A8-3520M:

Three new models offer increased base and Turbo Core frequencies over currently available 35 Watt mobile APU products. Dual-core AMD A4-3320M has 2 GHz stock clock speed, and 2.6 GHz Turbo speed, which is 100 MHz higher than on the A4-3300M model. Quad-core A8-Series A8-3520M, clocked at 1.6 GHz, also has 100 MHz faster base and Turbo Core frequencies in comparison to A8-3500M. Details on the third model, A6-3420M, could be incorrect. According to the guide, AMD A6-3420M has 2.4 GHz maximum Turbo core frequency, as opposed to 2.3 GHz on the A6-3400M, however both processors run at the same 1.4 GHz stock speed. The A6-3420M has 4 CPU cores.

All new processors feature 1 MB L2 cache per core, and 35 Watt TDP. We suspect they also have the same characteristics of integrated graphics units as their predecessors. Please see the table below for a summary of known features of newly discovered mobile CPUs:
