I have an amd 8 core chip and 16gb ram yet it takes nearly 5 minutes to load a virtual device. It wouldn't be so bad if it was responsive once it had loaded but it is still just as bad after loading. Clicking or swiping takes maybe 3-5 seconds to register and even longer to execute. Surely android-sdk doesn't hate AMD processors THAT much? I know the intel haxm thing is supposed to greatly improve performance but I wouldn't have expected such issues with my processor.
I tried both increasing and lowering (as one reply suggested) ram on the avd neither made any noticeable difference. What else could be wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
