What are the differences between Intel Atom x86 vs ARM emulator?
And what are the pros and cons between the two?

x86 images run the fastest in the emulator. If you see Download next to the system image, you need to click it to download the system image.
Unfortunately, the architecture of the Linux container on an ARM-based Chromebook isn't compatible with Android Studio and many other Linux apps that run natively on x86 devices.
Android 11 system imagesx86: Includes both x86 and ARMv7 ABIs. x86_64: Includes x86, x86_64, ARMv7 and ARM64 ABIs.
The x86 Android* emulator system image enables you to run an emulation of Android on your development machine. In combination with the Android SDK, you can test your Android applications on a virtual Android device based on Intel Architecture.
Intel-based devices can run the full range of Android apps, even ones that were originally written for the ARM architecture. However, if an app contains ARM-specific code, then it must be translated before it can be executed.
This takes time and energy to do, so battery life and overall performance may suffer. Whether this is a serious problem is up for debate: our reviews indicate that Intel does tend to trail behind ARM in battery life, but the gap isn’t huge, and overall performance is generally very good.
At any rate, Intel is working hard to encourage developers to produce Intel-native versions of their apps, so hopefully translation will become progressively less of an issue.
