Apps Do you need an Intel processor to use the AVD emulator?

[DEATHmagic]

I am trying to get Android Studio to properly work on my PC but I am running into issues with the emulator. I can't get it to recognize the Samsung Galaxy S5 skin, but more importantly, I can't even get the emulator to run. I am at work right now (working really hard obviously ) so I can't post the error message that it gives me but I can say that I have installed the Intel VRM (i think it's called?) and I have also enabled VM in my BIOS as well as shut off the Hyoer-V software in my Windows Programs and Features and then I re-enabled it just to see if that helped as well.

Now I'm down to just wondering if I have an incompatible processor for Android Development. I have an AMD and I'm trying to get all this Intel stuff to work which seems kinda weird. Any tips or experience with this? thanks in advance!

no you don't. I recommend trying bluestacks or genymotion. It's faster, and less buggy.

I have the intel core I7 and emulators are a little "laggy". I use a real device whenever possible.
