Are there anywhere Android 8.0 (Oreo) API 26 and Android 8.1 (Oreo) API 27 ARM System images (ARM, not x86 Intel) for AVD Manager? Thanks.
Unofficial? Beta? Alpha? Any?

The ARM images for API 26 and 27 are not available yet. ARM images available till API 25 only.
Note: Google recommended an x86 system image on an x86 host for better emulation performance.
You should build Android sources for specific platform by yourself
Recent updates enabled computers with AMD processors to run Android Emulator and you don't need to install ARM images anymore. Taken from the Android Developers blog:
If you have an AMD processor in your computer you need the following setup requirements to be in place:
AMD Processor - Recommended: AMD® Ryzen™ processors
Android Studio 3.2 Beta or higher
Android Emulator v27.3.8+
x86 Android Virtual Device (AVD)
Windows 10 with April 2018 Update
Enable via Windows Features: "Windows Hypervisor Platform"
And that's it! I strongly recommend reading the whole blog post:
