You will have a software renderer in case of x86 emulator also (as qemu
does not have 3D acceleration yet). But the software renderer in x86
emulator will be **lot** faster compared to software renderer in ARM
emulator (if you have Intel VT support). If /dev/kvm is present then your
x86 emulator will work smoothly.

Hope This Helps.
