FT3b is a BGA-769 package for low power AMD microprocessors with an integrated north bridge, graphics processor, and controller hub targeting the notebook, tablet, all-in-one desktop, and embedded segment. FT3b succeeded the FT3 package and was superseded by the FT4 package.

All processors in the FT3b package, codename "Beema", "Mullins", "Steppe Eagle", "Crowned Eagle", and "Carrizo-L", are members of AMD's Family 16h with CPU cores based on the Puma microarchitecture, and are fabricated on a 28 nm SOI process.

The FT3b package is mechanically and electrically compatible with the FT3 package for processors based on the earlier Jaguar microarchitecture.
