I can even play angry birds at 60 fps on my 2-year old bottom-line Macbook Pro.
Your emulated device is now able to run native on your machine, and really fast. Lastly, since the graphics are still being emulated on the CPU, you will want to check the ‘use Host GPU’ checkbox in the virtual device editor.
If you run your emulated device now you’ll find that it is, in fact, much much faster. Hover the mouse over it and you’ll see it’s location (On my machine it’s /Users/Mohannad/android-sdk-macosx/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager). I spent a bit of time working on this and figured out a useful workflow! Fortunately, Google announced that the emulator can now run native on the machine, therefore performing much faster. Programmers are likely to have finished development and submitted the app to the Play Store before the emulator is done booting up. Many of you know how slow the emulator is.
