No, Android emulator was already using HAXM. It just means what the title says: the kernel component is now open source.

Supporting AMD is possible in principle, I am not sure if anyone is going to contribute it. It would be quite some work.

Nested virtualization support in Hyper-V is another story; Microsoft has already enabled it on Azure.

Yeah, I know, I used to work on it. Intel never gave us the source code though. Now that it's open source, the team will be able to actually look at it and possibly make the changes that we wanted for years (like adding AMD support).
