I think that saying this is emulation really downplays the technology behind this nowadays you would be hugely wasteful to emulate AMD64. Virtualization is better as a term but if you are concerned about circular logic with that you can say "virtualization, similar to emulation but using hardware acceleration." | I think that saying this is emulation really downplays the technology behind this nowadays you would be hugely wasteful to emulate AMD64.

Edit: The reason I point this out is I don't want users believing that virtualization is inherently slow (or has performance ramifications), such is the case in emulation (in general). | ||
