The X20 may do okay but the X10 is not even as good as the Snapdragon 801.

Very badly.<10FPS in the Animal Crossing title screen.

Just curious, what's the issue with Helio X10? Bad CPU performance, bad GPU performance/drivers or both?

The Helio X10 only comes with Cortex A53's, which means CPU perf in dual core apps like dolphin is atrocious.

I don't think it's the A53s holding it back in this case. I think it is the PowerVR G6250 in it not detecting our load and running at ~100Mhz.
To be certain, I'm planning on getting an Amazon Fire TV when it is available. Which has 2x Cortex-A72s at 2Ghz and the same GPU.
This would give a good indication if it is being CPU or GPU/driver limited.

Yep it's going to be interesting comparing Fire TV A72s to MTK Helio X10, though GPU are slightly different:

Fire TV/IMG GX6250/Jan 2014/GFLOPS@650Mhz - 83.2/166.4
Helio X10/IMG G6200/Jan 2012/GFLOPS@600Mhz - 76.8/76.8

With Series6XT you get more performance and features.
Including things like ASTC.

Shield TV or go home imo.
