Is it not the case that x86 Chromebooks emulate the ARM ISA in order to run Android apps? There's certainly a slowdown but it's not horrible. How do they do it?

Then again maybe they just have a good JVM and that solves most of the problem for Android apps?
- LordDragonfang 6y agoI feel really stupid, because as the (otherwise happy) owner of a well-specced x86 Chromebook, I've always wondered why most people seemed happy with android apps on chromeOS while I find them laggy and buggy messes. I've just realized it's probably an emulation issue. So, uh, the slowdown seems pretty bad to me.
