You can look up the processor revision/stepping here:
http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUFilter.aspx
You can search by model number, etc. on the left side or more specifically by the cpu OPN (e.g., ADO4600CUBOX) on the right side.
If you select steppings G1/G2 and then pull down the model list, you can see the range of processors in each stepping. I don't think any of them are quad/triple cores.
Searching the "3800+" and knowing it is 65 watts (EE) shows either an F2 or F3. Likewise, the "4850e" is a G2.
Checking the cpuinfo on systems using a 4850e (G2) and a 4600+ EE (F2) both give "cpu family: 15", so they have included the Gs in the excluded group, too.
