Running the new Intel emulator for Android

Not every processor is supporting the virtualization!

To find out your chipset abilities go to http://ark.intel.com/, insert the name of your processor in the search line and check out the resolve.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) = ???

If you see "No", you can forget HAXM!

Small Note for Windows 8 user, Intel HAX will not work if Hyper-V feature is enable. Hyper-V (like most of the virtualization tech) will exclusively lock the VT extension witch will prevent HAX to work properly. A workaround if you “need” Hyper-V too might be to stop manually the Hyper-V services when you need HAX (haven’t tested it yet through).

If all else fails. Simply try to download the Intel HAXM zip manually, extract and install. check here

Remember this only works for an Intel cpu that supports Intel Virtualization Technology. And you MUST enable virtulization in your bios.

It's a fairly decent and very noticeable improvement to the android emulator if you ask me.

I had the same issue, solved it by Installing the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager. Download it with the SDK Manager, it's in Extras. After this, go to the folder

[Android SDK Root]\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

then run IntelHaxm.exe and install.

Here the link of the Intel Hardware Accelerated IntelHaxm.exe for Microsoft Windows,Mac OS* X, and Linux Ubuntu

You'll get the following message if you don't have virtualization enabled in your BIOS:
