Disable Hyperthreading - Since the emulator doesn't appear to utilize more than one core, hyperthreading actually reduces the amount of overall CPU time the emulator will get.Then, give the emulator more of the CPU you have: Start with a fast CPU or upgrade if you can. To make the emulator faster, you have to give it more CPU. UPDATE: Now that an Intel x86 image is available, the best answer is by zest above.Īs CommonsWare has correctly pointed out, the emulator is slow because it emulates an ARM CPU, which requires translation to Intel opcodes. P.S: Check this tool, very convenient even trial
