What is the right number of CPU cores and memory for my BlueStacks?
The amount of memory and number of CPU cores you should allocate is largely dependent on the type of apps you are using.
4 Cores and 4 GB of memory
This is applicable for demanding apps, such as Call of Duty: Mobile, Free Fire, Rise of Kingdoms and many others.
2 Cores and 2 GB of memory
This is suitable for the majority of the apps, such as Among Us, that are not as graphically demanding as the ones listed above.
