The cameras will be powered by GoPro’s new GP3 processor, offering enhanced low-light performance and other improvements. GoPro announced a new processor to power its next generation of cameras, launching in Q2 2026. While no details on upcoming models were shared, the new GP3 chip is described as GoPro’s most powerful imaging processor, enhancing low-light and thermal performance to extend camera run times. The existing GP2 processor, found in models since 2021, uses AI for optimizing settings based on filming environments and subject tracking. The GP3 will feature a specialized AI Neural Processor Unit (NPU) for advanced video pixel processing and low-light imaging, with dedicated cores for scene recognition and subject detection. Additionally, it will support high resolutions, frame rates, and deliver cinema-grade performance. This shift appears to target filmmakers to broaden GoPro’s user base. This announcement follows the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s launch, highlighting advanced stabilization typically found in high-end cameras.
