More than 2 cores might not experience a huge difference in terms of emulator performance.Įclipse + the Android emulator together eat up a ton of RAM. Hardware-wise, get the fastest CPU you can get that works for single-core applications. If you can, you can try putting your heavy-CPU usage applications on the other CPU cores for a boost in speed. Also, if you put it on another core (like the last core), it may make the emulator go crazy. I noticed that the emulator defaults to only Core 0, where most Windows applications will default to "any" core. Note: When you change affinity in this way, it's only changed for the lifetime of the process. On the Set Affinity dialog, select just the last CPU.Right click on emulator.exe and choose Set Affinity.Click View All Processes (to run as administrator, otherwise you can't set processor affinity).I'm seeing somewhere around a 50% improvement with these two changes in place. Note that on OS X you cannot set affinity (see: ).

I change the emulator to run on the last one. Many apps will chew up CPU 0, and by default the emulator runs on CPU 0. On Windows, you can specify which CPU a process will run on.

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

In finder, go to the install location of the Intel Emulator Accelerator and install IntelHAXM (open the dmg and run the installation).In Android SDK Manager, install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM).In Android SDK Manager, install Intel x86 Atom System Image.Or run from Eclipse: Run/Run Configurations/Tab "Target" - > check Intel x86 AVD and in "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" window add: -qemu -m 512 -enable-kvm (click Run).
