Android Studio emulator and AMD CPU

Question

I can't run my app on standard Nexus 5 emulator. It seems it requires Intel HAXM but i have an AMD processor. So how can i use the emulator without buying an Intel processor (or installing Linux)?

This is now possible. See my answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/57917310/676571 — clearpath, Sep 13 '19 at 04:33

If you have an AMD processor, you can download an ARM image, but it is super slow on x86 platforms.

The x86 image does not work with AMD CPUs, because the x86 image needs HAXM installed which needs VT-X support, and only Intel CPUs support it.

So you can download the Genymotion emulator, which supports both VT-X & AMD-V technology.

In fact, i have x64 platform but i don't think it plays role or does it? – nikoliazekter Mar 04 '15 at 12:51
is you x64 platform Intel or AMD? Genymotion works good at Intel and AMD platform. – blues667 Mar 06 '15 at 07:45

it works at AMD cpu in 64 bit mode， my desktop in office is AMD，and use Win7 64bit + JDK 64bit+ Andriod Studio+ Genymotion, it works very well. – blues667 Mar 07 '15 at 14:56

Genymotion is super fast. Other than hooking your physical device up to test, it's the next best thing. Android Studio emulator is not efficient for testing. I am using the personal version of Genymotion.

With the latest API 30, even x86 emulators are very fast in AMD processors. For this in Windows, you follow this below.

You absolutely don't need Intel HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Mode) in AMD processors, because they are AMD processors.

Just enable (check) Windows Hypervisor Platform in Windows features as shown below.

Now, you can start emulators. No need of Intel HAXM.

You can run the ARM (non Intel) emulator image. From your list, just choose a non Intel emulation.

You should give ARC Welder a try if all you just want to do is test an app, without all the distractions from an emulator. It works with the Google App Runtime For Chrome

You simply feed it your app's apk file and it generates a folder containing your app's resources then it launches the app. Its still in heavy development, so not all apps work yet, but its really worth giving a try.
