The last time I bothered trying to make an Android app the SDK's emulator would not run on AMD CPUs and it seemed to have been deliberately crippled. Intel being the most obvious benefactor there.

At a guess, the SDK engineers likely had Intel workstations and didn’t test on other systems. In the course of doing low level optimizations, they may have written some non-portable code. Only recently did Google start offering an AMD-based workstation, which is highly coveted because it’s incredibly fast for building Android or ChromeOS. Maybe this has been fixed since then from bug reports.
