Run Android studio emulator on AMD processor

Android newbie. My processor is AMD, not Intel, so I can't open the emulator in Android studio.

This answer has the comment: 'You can run the ARM (non Intel) emulator image. From your list, just choose a non Intel emulation.' They don't explain where this can be found. Any ideas? Thanks

Android Studio emulator and AMD CPU

Alright, first of all, open your Android SDK Manager: Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager, then chose any platform/package you want to download, expand it and select ARM EABI v7a System Image or ARM 64 v8a System Image then install.

After that, open Android AVD Manager: Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager and create an emulator. You may chose from existing or create your own.

For better results, you may need to restart Android Studio.

[UPDATE]

Thanks to @bjornredemption for his clue.

As per Google's latest documentation for Android Emulator v29+ Navigate to Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager then select the "SDK Tools" tab and tick this option:

Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors

Then click Apply to download then use it for your emulator.

Open Android AVD Manager: Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager and create an emulator:

• Create Virtual Device
• Choose any hardware
• Now in system image you need to click on the "Other Images" tab
• Select an image to install. IMPORTANT: Notice that for AMD in the "ABI" column it has to say: ARM EABI v7a or ARM 64 v8a
• Install it and restart Android Studio

This works for me.

I am using microsoft's Android emulator with Android Studio. I have an AMD FX8350. The ARM one in android studio is terribly slow.

The only issue is that it requires Hyper-V which is not available on windows 10 Home.

Its a really quick emulator and it is free. The best emulator I have used.
