Xeon PC Build for Android Emulator ( Bluestack, NOX, LDplayer, etc )
so there's a few things to know first,
Bluestacks recommends a Passmark single thread score of 1000 or more (this means the single thread performance means more than lots of cores) and a GPU score of 750 or more.
so yes the 2640V3 and RX550 would be more than enough to emulate a few instances of Bluestacks,
you'll be limited to at motherboard like https://www.ebay.ca/itm/174800061151
ECC RAM isn't cheap but you should be able to run DDR4 on most of these boards, don't expect much over 2666 to be stable but you may get lucky with higher clocks
Personally I would try to get a GTX950 4GB instead of the RX550, score is basically double and it should cost around the same
8cores/16threads won't be fully utilized until you start playing with multi-instances and get your settings dialed in for each "emulator" to use more or less cores depending on what you are doing. Most phones only have 2-4 actual compute cores and they run much slower than desktop processors (ie your xeon would have 2x the single core requirement for emulating let alone the 14 other threads)
if you can get a motherboard with NVME you will see an improvement in loading multi-instances simply because the data can move faster, a Sata SSD would also be fine but the price between NVME and sata is getting really close.
