Faster Emulator Announced

[Osi]

The news release is found @ A Faster Emulator with Better Hardware Support | Android Developers Blog

Hopefully, it'll trickle down eventually. But it doesn't affect me as I only develop for the Kindle Fire

I haven't tried it yet but open your AVD.
Go down to hardware click New
Choose GPU Emulation
When it goes into the grid click to the right of the no and choose yes.

Theoretically that seems to be it.

I don't see Hardware and thus don't see New...

You can find it when you want to create new emulator

Hmmm...I tried setting that but it didn't seem to make any difference in the time it took to start up an emulator and get to the ready to use point...still very slow...
