Can it run on Intel Core i3 Gen 10 and 8 GB RAM with SSD storage?
Can Genymotion Desktop run on Intel Core i3 Gen 10 and 8 GB RAM SSD storage?
Yes, Genymotion Desktop supports 64-bit Intel CPUs, including newer generations such as the Intel Core i3 10th Gen (as long as the architecture meets 64-bit requirements). However, there is a RAM requirement to note: Genymotion Desktop recommends 16 GB or more of RAM. With an 8 GB RAM configuration, performance and the experience of running multiple virtual devices may be limited or less than optimal, especially when running multiple Android VMs or devices with higher graphics requirements. In addition to RAM, please ensure:
- 64-bit Windows 10/11 (not Windows 7 or 32-bit systems).
- OpenGL 3.3 or higher for graphics.
- BIOS/UEFI VT-x/AMD-V active for virtualization.
- Sufficient free disk space (300 MB for Genymotion + 2 GB per virtual device).
Further details about Genymotion Desktop hardware requirements:
- Hardware requirement: RAM 16 GB or more (Windows/macOS/Linux according to the guide). Source: Desktop User Guide – Requirements. https://docs.genymotion.com/desktop/Get_started/Requirements
- Supported systems and note that Genymotion Desktop: Windows 10/11 64-bit (not Windows 7). Source: Desktop User Guide – Supported Systems and Windows Installation Guide. https://docs.genymotion.com/desktop/Get_started/011_Windows_install
- General note that 32-bit and virtual machines are not supported. Source: same as above, Desktop User Guide – Requirements. https://docs.genymotion.com/desktop/Get_started/Requirements
In summary: with an Intel Core i3 10th Gen processor and 8 GB RAM, Genymotion Desktop can theoretically be run, but it does not meet the recommended minimum RAM. For the best experience, we recommend upgrading to 16 GB RAM or more.

Follow-up questions:
- What operating system are you currently using (Windows/macOS/Linux) and its exact version?
- How many Android virtual devices do you want to run at the same time? We can recommend RAM configuration and other options if you have a specific usage target (e.g. automated testing vs. demo).
