It is _exactly_ running pdflatex rather than latex (note that
preview-latex is quite faster in DVI mode, spectacularly so if you have
Dvipng installed, so if you have large documents with lots of math that
does not require pdflatex, DVI mode may be preferable)

Sure.

M-x customize-variable RET TeX-PDF-mode RET

and don't forget to save for future sessions.  That is the default
setting when AUCTeX has no other information.
