I have installed MS VS 2015. I've installed xamarin with all required staff like Android sdk etc. I have this options for xamarin project:
enter image description here
For both options I get this errors:

2>emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
2>Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
2>CPU acceleration status: Android Emulator requires an Intel processor with VT-x and NX support.  Your CPU: 'AuthenticAMD'

How to fix it?

  • [This guide](https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/getting_started/installation/accelerating_android_emulators/) explains how to install and configure the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) to make the Google Android Emulator run faster on supported systems. – ashley Nov 30 '16 at 05:54

You find the details in this answer on stackoverflow:

In current AVD manager you can't. You just have the opportunity to use ARM images which will not need hardware virtualization.

but, have you tried the Visual Studio Android Emulator? This emulator is a lot faster then the images from Google and it's free. We use this Emulator and it works like a charm.

Check the system requirements to ensure, the emulator works on your machine.

Edit

To enable Hyper-V look at this detailted answer. But note:

You must be running Windows 8 Pro or Windows 8 Enterprise. Hyper-V is not available in basic Windows 8. Same applies to Windows 8.1.

Your CPU may not support Virtualization Technology (VTx)
