My emulator runs great although I still have a HDD(vs SSD) which bottlenecks emulation once in a while. My setup is a Core i7 3770K, 32GB of DDR3 RAM, and Windows 7 Enterprise. My emulator is currently consuming 2.7GB of RAM.

Thanks for sharing.

Not the above, but it runs great for me on both my desktop (Intel i5-6600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, some random ASUS ROG mobo), my old desktop setup (Intel i5-2500K, 16GB RAM, HDD) and my laptop (Intel i7-4760HQ, 16GB RAM, SSD).

It certainly runs far better than Xcode, since that won't even start on any of those!

I had a higher end Mac Pro when I was doing iOS development and Android Studio is way more stable than XCode and the emulator is at least as fast.

4.2ghz OC'd i5 4690K, 16gb ram (would like more though), Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX mobo, GTX 970 card. It's not a terribly fantastic setup, it's mainly the HAXM integration on the emulator. If you haven't tried the emulator since that was included you need to. It went from 5 minute startup to 30 seconds tops. And if it's already running then rerunning the app is nearly instant.
