Android Studio emulator minimum CPU requirement

I used to have HP Pro Book 4320s(2010 laptop) and I downloaded Android Studio with no problems. However when I tried to run emulator, Android Studio said CPU is too old to support emulator. So, what is minimum requirement for emulator?
Also if you can't run emulator, would real device be able to run an app regardless CPU or something?

In order to run the emulator, you need to have a CPU that supports HAXM, Intel VT-x, or AMD-V for virtualization. Processors like i3,i5,i7 and recent AMD processors have that support.

Yes, you can run the app on a physical device regardless of the CPU.

If getting access to a physical device is challenging, then I suggest checking out the Firebase Testlab . You can test your app in the cloud and see if it runs, quite cool.
