Yes, but that's different in that it's x86 on x86 so you can use hardware paravirtualization features for maximum performance (through HyperV). ARM on x86 can't use hardware virtualization features, you have to run it all in software, which is why it's slow. Big value in getting rid of the architecture mismatch.


Android Emulator has been (by default) x86 for years now and it's using both hardware paravirtualization and even OpenGL passthrough.
