What hardware specifications do I need to run Genymotion smoothly?
> You mentioned macOS 12.7.6, below is a hardware configuration suggestion based on the latest information in 2025 to help you run Genymotion smoothly.
| Component | Requirement | Description | |-----------|-------------|-------------| | CPU | 64-bit Intel Core 6th generation or later or Apple Silicon SoC (M-series) | Any 64-bit processor is acceptable. Apple Silicon requires Rosetta to be enabled. | | Graphics Card | Graphics card supporting OpenGL 3.3 or higher | For Intel integrated graphics, it is recommended to use a dedicated GPU or use QEMU on macOS; Apple Silicon also supports OpenGL 3.3. | | RAM | 16 GB or higher | Virtual Android devices occupy RAM, it is recommended to leave at least 8 GB or more for the host. | | Display Resolution | 1920×1080 or higher | This is the minimum requirement, it is recommended to use a higher resolution for a better experience. | | Hard Disk Space | 300 MB installation + 2 GB per virtual device | This is the minimum value, if you plan to create multiple devices, it is recommended to reserve 20 GB or more. |
> Note
> - Rosetta must be enabled on M-series Macs. > - Genymotion Desktop does not support 32-bit systems, and it is not recommended to run it in a virtual machine or server environment. > - Virtualization technology (VT-x/AMD-V) must be enabled in BIOS/UEFI; however, on macOS, it uses built-in QEMU, which usually does not require manual configuration.
