How can I reduce Android Emulator resource consumption?

I have tried looking at this SO post but I already have 16GB of RAM and I don't want to decrease AVD memory. I do not understand why the Android Emulator takes up so many resources (%25+ CPU, Almost 1GB of RAM) when running a simple app (Like this: Single Activity with a RecyclerView and its Adapter. That's it). Any help would be appreciated.

My fan is always on when using the Android Emulator in Android Studio.

This is a big pain for me and even bigger after upgrading the AndroidStudio version.

One alternative is to use an external Device for Debugging in place of an Emulator.

This is normal for the Android Emulator. My numbers are the same.
