Not least, it’s paired with that ISP which we’ll go into in more detail next. There are other benefits to the new chip beyond FPS, though. Twice the frames of the equivalent on the Hero 9 Black. 3 megapixels higher than last time and available at 60fps. I already mentioned that the upper-most resolution is now. With the GP2, the promise is “twice the performance.” The company hasn’t shared specifics about the chip itself, but the rewards are evidenced in the increased frame rates across the board. It allowed the company to tightly integrate the brains of the camera with the rest of the hardware and yield more control over key features. The GP1, GoPro’s first custom processor, made its debut with the Hero 6 Black. In fact, the only visible differences between last year’s model and the Hero 10 is… the number 10 and the color of the text branding - it’s now GoPro blue rather than gray. The camera itself is, thankfully, the same dimensions as the Hero 9 which means if you have a media mod or Hero 9-specific accessory it’ll likely work with the new model just fine. We’re told the sensor is actually the same as before, but that the new chip running the show can eke out more use of it. You may have noticed that the max resolution for video is now a shade higher than last year at 5.3K (up from 5).
