Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager

If you find the android emulator a slow and your system runs on an Intel® cpu, you can check out HAXM. HAXM lets you leverage your hardware for virtualization, accelerating the emulator.

• To install HAXM open the Android SDK Manager, you will find the package under Extras.
• You can find all relevant documentation on Intel's website
• This will require an x86 emulator image
• Use Intel's package to install HAXM; The Android SDK Manager appears to not do so successfully, depending on the version you might have installed
