android - What is the difference between the Intel x86 Atom and Atom_64 system images? -
i using android sdk manager install system image android m preview. however, noticed there 2 separate images x86 platform.
what differences between 2 , 1 should select 64-bit ubuntu 15.04 installation? (my cpu includes amd-v , enabled in bios, in case makes difference.)
according article
with google’s recent release of x86 64-bit android 5.0 emulator image, developers can create 64-bit apps intel atom processor-based devices.
android 32-bit vs 64-bit
many 64-bit platforms today, including solaris, aix*, hp-ux*, linux*, os x*, bsd, , ibm z/os*, use lp64 model. since android based on linux kernel, android 64-bit platforms use lp64 model.
intel 64-bit cpus have 32-bit compatibility mode. while 32-bit applications run on 64-bit processors, compiling 64-bit optimizing compiler allows them take advantage of architectural benefits of 64-bit environment.
how run 64-bit apps on emulators
create new android virtual device (avd) based on intel atom processor 64-bit system image , open avd manager in sdk manager or adt. click ‘create’ , fill fields shown in figure . 64-bit avd emulator ready run.
by default, 32-bit applications run without glitch on 64-bit processors, might run slower applications tuned run on 64-bit processors.
android ready 64-bit processing
one of key benefits of move 32-bit 64-bit chips largely theoretical right now: support exabytes of ram, rather mere gigabytes. way 64-bit chips handle memory can lead improved performance in tasks.
summary
android 64-bit technologies intel atom processor-based platforms can developers optimize applications now. building android applications 64-bit easy building traditional 32-bit android applications. can use official android 64-bit emulator run , debug 64-bit apps.
maybe articles can understand difference between system images.
update
google encourage use x86 emulator can see in image
the difference when using x86 images, uses fast, hardware-accelerated virtualization under right conditions (haxm) doesn't feel there's fat middle layer anymore.
