The specifications from the manufacturer of your CPU should indicate if it supports virtualization extensions.

AMD Virtualization (AMD-V, SVM) extensions (only supported for Linux).Intel Virtualization Technology (VT, VT-x, vmx) extensions.

Before attempting to use this type of acceleration, you should first determine if your development system’s CPU supports one of the following virtualization extensions technologies:
#CLASSIC MAC EMULATOR ACCELERATION ANDROID#
Taking advantage of these extensions with the Android emulator requires some additional configuration of your development system, but can significantly improve the execution speed. Many modern CPUs provide extensions for running virtual machines (VMs) more efficiently. Caution: As of SDK Tools Revision 17, the virtual machine acceleration feature for the emulator is experimental be alert for incompatibilities and errors when using this feature.
