Android Question Is anyone using AVD Emulators?

I used to use HAXM or its replacement accelerator software to run AVD on my Win 10 box. It worked great and would load the B4A app in about 2 seconds in the emulator. Without the accelerator software it was really slow loading.

1) I'm now getting a new AMD computer and wanted to know if anyone has solved the program on running AVD on AMD computers?
2) Are any fast 3rd party emulators available?
3) Otherwise I'll end up buying at least a tablet for testing the app to make sure I'm using the screen space effectively.

TIA

1.There is no problem to run AVD on AMD computers.
2.yes, there are some simulators, such as Bluestack,NoxPlayer, etc
3.A real device is useful for testing camera, BLE, and GPS etc,

Is the AVD performance on AMD computers respectable?
To get performance from AVD, do I need an AMD hyperthreading processor like Ryzen 7 or 9? Ryzen Threadripper processor?
Or can a lower cost Ryzen 3 and 5 without hyperthreading work fast enough?

From my experience with an Intel processor, it needed hyperthreading to make AVD nearly as fast as a phone.
