It's actually far faster than an ARM emulation (provided that you are running on Linux with kvm enabled). Last I heard, there was a bug in the released SDK's version that was causing the emulator to have a very slow start-up time. If it isn't already fixed in the master branch, I'll see about getting the fix uploaded there.
Note: you will also need to load in kvm (on Linux): sudo modprobe kvm sudo modprobe kvm_intel -Bruce On Jan 12, 2:20 pm, Anirudh Sivaraman <sk.anir...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I read an earlier thread where it said the Android emulator was now capable > of running x86 images, (for avd's such as the one used in Google-TV) but > that it's performance was no better than conventional ARM emulation on ARM > images.
