The gameplay was nearly identical to that of the tablet.” The result? Fast startup and response time for the x86 system image. We hosted the emulator on a Windows 7 machine with a quad-core 3.10 GHz processor, 8 GB of memory, and AMD/ATI Radeon R6570 graphics card. We ran the game on the Kindle Fire HDX 7” emulator, as well as on an actual Kindle Fire HDX 7” tablet. This is a 74-MB APK that includes complex gameplay code along with a large set of assets. To demonstrate how much faster the x86 system images are than the ARM system images, we looked at the performance of Air Patriots, a game from Amazon Game Studios.
However, the optimal emulation experience is through x86 system images. Both x86 and ARM system images take full advantage of the GPU. With Kindle Fire HDX sporting best-in-class hardware, providing true-to-device emulation requires a development machine with an equally solid graphics configuration. We have built the third-generation emulators directly from Fire OS source code to provide the most accurate Kindle Fire emulation. Keeping that in mind, running the x86 system images with a capable GPU and the right virtualization options, you can run apps at near-device speed. “Let’s be clear, Android emulators have a bad reputation.
