AMD hasn't put L3 cache on their desktop CPUs since Piledriver. No FM2+ chip has it, and the A12, which is the same Carizzo you find on FM2+ in the form of the Athlon x4 845, doesn't either. Presumably this is because L3 cache significantly adds to die space, driving up cost to produce, and AMD's only hope of competing right now is in price.

L3 cache has never been included on most lower end AMD chips. The APUs however have an unusually large L2 cache, I believe Carrizo has 2x2MB L2 (for reference the Intel i5 line has 6MB of unified L3 cache.)
