Most mobile chips don't do well if you push them for too long. All these benchmarks mean jack if the chip can't sustain operations at max power, and this is a protable, imagine being out on a warm day and your games are running slowly because the device has built up too much heat. 

X2 may draw less power but actively cooling it would be the wiser choice, it's gonna be less noisy for sure and a revised NX with 10nm chips will be the one to get if noise is too much of an issue. 

I'm ok with a fan for performance sake. Doesn't a fan eat further battery though?

It does. But a device this big will be stuffed with lots of battery I suppose, it's thick and it's will have the footprint of an iPad mini. We are definitely not looking at iPad kind of battery-life though, you will be runnig games at max CPU/GPU. 

A big battery will require long charging times though, hmmm...
