I cannot claim to have investigated the differences between A57 and 
X-Gene in great detail but from the quick overview table here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ARMv8-A_cores
it looks like if anything the X-Gene is likely to be faster given it has 
a L3 on-chip cache which A57 doesn't seem to.
