I know how emulators work.Emulators uses the system's processor to emulate the hardware to trick the game into running, so running it on a low performance chip will cause your system to slow down. This is where hardware acceleration comes in, it handles the emulation leaving the processor free to do the day to day task.
I still remember the "slide-show" of Goldeneye via emulator back in the early 2000's.
However, you haven't actually disproven the possibility of running this game via emulator on an Android device. I don't doubt it would (at best) work for maybe five-to-ten minutes before eating up all the device's RAM like it's impersonating Chrome, but it could still run... About as well as the release version of Crysis on "minimum spec" machines for the time
Also the article I linked didn't contain ports, but versions specifically built for mobile devices. Which means those that are compatible have the necessary graphical processing capability.
Basically what I'm saying is that you are not going to run Cyberpunk in emulation on Android.
Well thank fuck for that, because I was worried we were talking about The Twist...
