I am getting this error “your cpu doesn't support vt-x or svm, android studio 2.1.1 in AMD 6300 processor”

Question

I have enabled the virtualization in bios setup but when i try to launch the emulator i am getting the error \"your cpu doesn\'t support vt-x or svm\"

I have install

Answer 1

The VT-x technology as well as the HAXM are unique to Intel processors. In the case of AMD processors, AMD-V is the counterpart in the virtualization tech front. Installation of HAXM in an AMD processor will not have any impact and hence the error "your cpu doesn't support vt-x or svm".

Reference link: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/emulator

As stated in the link above

For best performance with Android Emulator 2.0, your system should meet the following specifications: Windows: Intel® processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality. AMD and Intel Atom processors do not support VT-x virtual machine acceleration. Linux: Intel® processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality or AMD processors with support for AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) 64-bit Operating Systems.

I would suggest to use an ARM image for the emulator instead of an Intel image. This would not require the use of HAXM nor VT-x.
