Well 3.13.y.z isn't an Ubuntu kernel, its upstream, and those archs
*are* supported.

Davidlohr's answer is correct: This is not an "Ubuntu kernel".

3.13.y.z is an "extended stable" kernel which follows the same rules as
the kernel.org official stable kernels.  It contains no Ubuntu-specific
patches, and supports the same arch's as mainline.

More details about this and the other Canonical-funded-and-hosted
"extended stable" kernel versions is available here:

OK, thank you for clarification. I was unsure as this is not hosted on
kernel.org, I thought it was a Ubuntu specific kernel.

So we have the following stable kernels as of now:

3.10, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15(for a few days), 3.16!

Interesting.
