"Exclusive to GoPro, GP3 is a 5-nanometer System-on-a-Chip (SoC)..."

A system-on-a-chip (SoC) is a single microchip that combines the main parts of an electronic system — such as the central processor, memory, graphics, and wireless radios — into one compact package. Think of it as a whole kitchen built onto a single countertop instead of separate rooms. For investors, SoCs matter because they influence product performance, manufacturing cost, power use, and supply-chain risk, all of which affect competitiveness and profit margins.

ai neural processor unit (npu) technical

"At the heart of GoPro's innovative GP3 processor is a specialized AI Neural Processor Unit (NPU)..."

An AI neural processor unit (NPU) is a specialized computer chip designed to run artificial intelligence tasks much faster and using less power than general-purpose processors. Think of it as a skilled assembly-line worker built for the repetitive math involved in machine learning so devices and servers can recognize patterns, images, or speech more quickly. Investors care because NPUs can lower operating costs, enable new products or services, and create competitive advantages that affect revenue and profit margins.

Custom GP3 Processor to Debut in New Cameras in Q2 2026 and Power GoPro's Next Generation of Cameras Across Current and Future Products

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) today announced the upcoming launch of GP3, its most powerful custom imaging processor to date. Exclusive to GoPro, GP3 is a 5-nanometer System-on-a-Chip (SoC) that delivers more than 2X the pixel processing power and superior AI-driven image quality and low-light performance over its predecessor, GP2. GP3's power efficiency and thermal performance are expected to significantly outperform the competition, resulting in industry-leading runtimes in the most demanding environmental conditions. These advancements position GP3 to usher in a new era of professional-level image quality, low-light performance, resolution and frame rates for small form-factor camera markets, including action cameras, 360 cameras, vlogging cameras, and ultra-premium, compact cinema-grade cameras.

Accompanying images captured on GoPro's next‑generation camera system powered by GP3 showcase the breakthrough image quality and low-light performance enabled by this new technology.

At the heart of GoPro's innovative GP3 processor is a specialized AI Neural Processor Unit (NPU) that enables next-generation video pixel processing and market-leading low-light image performance. GP3 also features dedicated cores for scene recognition and subject detection, allowing GoPro cameras to understand their environment in real-time and adjust camera settings automatically. And with its 5-nanometer architecture and exceedingly efficient power-profile, GP3 is expected to enable market-leading resolutions and frame rates with runtimes and thermal performance that significantly outperform the competition.

"We expect our new, exclusive GP3 processor to lead in every performance area—image quality, resolution, frame rates, low-light performance and power and thermal efficiency," said Pablo Lema, GoPro's Senior Vice President of Product Management. "Launching in our new products in Q2, GP3 provides a scalable, proprietary foundation we can leverage to power GoPro cameras across existing and future product categories. Our markets demand the very best performance, and we believe this sets the stage for GP3 to serve as a growth catalyst for GoPro."

"GP3's bleeding-edge, cinema-grade performance will enable GoPro to enter the ultra-premium end of the imaging market this year, serving the needs of a new, higher-end market segment that can grow GoPro's business and brand," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's founder and CEO. "We're excited for GP3 to empower GoPro as both an innovator and disrupter as we look to grow our business through market-leading technology and performance."

GP3 will debut in new GoPro cameras in Q2 2026.
