You can use Genymotion which runs very smoothly. Also, you can update your Android Studio to latest version, update your gradle version to latest version. Remove all your old emulators and create new emulator which is fast compare to other old emulators.

As far as I know, all emulators like Xamarin Android Player, Genymotion, Nox, BlueStacks, ... using x86-based system images because they are about 10 times faster than ARM-based system images.

if it's not necessary to use ARM-based system image you can use another emulator like Genymotion or Xamarin Android Player or Nox (I prefer to use Nox) but if you need an ARM-based emulator try enabling Snapshot or Use of host GPU when creating a new Virtual Device to get faster operation.
