Is there any way to get hypervisor framework work on amd cpu? I think it would be.

My research has been entirely on arm64, not Intel/x86_64, so I don't really have a good answer.

On Intel macOS, Hypervisor support is in a kext, not built directly into the kernel, so it's theoretically possible for someone to write their own hypervisor kext for AMD. I doubt anyone would ever do it: it'd be very difficult, and it's a bit silly to Hackintosh your computer just to run Android Studio when you can already run it on Windows or Linux.
