They do.
First, AMD also produces ARM Chips, although they use them for small servers.
Second, there are the E2-micro, A4-micro and A10-micro. Especially the latter, A10-micro 6700T, an x86-64 APU, is a quadcore which clocks at 1.2 Ghz base and 2.2 Ghz Turbo and GCN graphics (2CU, for comparision the Xbox ONE has 12 and the PS4 has 18) while only having a TDP of 4.5W and was actually designed for Tablets. Might be slightly slower but not by very much.

How would this stack up against the X1 chip that nvidia used in Shield?

Hard to say actually. Probably the x86 CPU would be slighly faster on AMD's side (especially when having to do floating point operations, which are a general weakness of the ARM design) while the X1 has more graphics cores and thus most probably somewhat faster graphics.
How big the differences are in real life however is something nobody will be totally able to tell you unless they would be running the same software benchmarking parcours, which is difficult to do since they use a different architecture.
