I have a HP Pavilion Laptop with a10-4600m and amd radeon hd 7660g.
I just installed new AMD driver 14.3 beta. But I still don't see Mantle Option in Battlefield 4 (the game is updated also).

No.

You aren't reading the fine print. Mantle only works with GCN architecture; GCN covers the Radeon HD 7730...

On the AMD website I found this - Mantle performance for the AMD Radeon™ HD 7000/HD 8000 Series GPUs and AMD Radeon™ R9 280X and R9 270X GPUs will be optimized for BattleField 4™ in future AMD Catalyst™ releases. These products will see limited gains in BattleField 4™ and AMD is currently investigating optimizations for them. -

Is that suppose to mean that my videocard will be supported also?

You aren't reading the fine print. Mantle only works with GCN architecture; GCN covers the Radeon HD 7730, 7750, 7770, 7790, 7850, 7870, 7870XT, 7950, 7970, 7990, R7-240, R7-250, R7-250X, R9-255, R9-260, R7-260, R7-260X, R9-265, R9-270. R9-270x, R9-280, R9-280x, R9-290, R9-290x. There are no plans to expand mantle to work with older gpu architectures.

Your HD 7660g is based on the desktop graphics card architecture of the HD 6670. Which as you can see is not in the above list of GCN gpus.

The apu based on the FM2+ socket called Kaveri, is the only APU which uses a GCN type gpu. They call it a vague name R7 Radeon graphics... depending on the APU that r7 graphics could be roughly equivalent to an r7-240, or r7-250... in the case of the a10-7850k, the onboard graphics is apparently almost identical to the HD 7770 or r9-260; however due to the limitations in memory, it performs much closer to the r7-250
