HAXM 7.2.0 is now available in all channels.

This update includes bug fixes and improved support for large amounts of RAM. Also, with this HAXM update and Emulator 27.3 and later, snapshots will load their RAM on demand instead of loading everything up front, which should greatly decrease the time needed to load a snapshot.

This is a big change versus HAXM 6.2.1. We are actively monitoring issues that may happen with HAXM 7.2.0. If you are experiencing problems, please file an issue in Issuetracker, providing details of your hardware specs.

To get the update, choose Help > Check for Updates (Android Studio > Check for Updates on Mac). The component being updated appears as Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) in the SDK Tools tab in the SDK Manager.
