The GBA CPU was much better than the SNES, Doom is very much a CPU driven game.
So impossible port? Nah.

Crysis 1 was running on the Console-optimised Crysis 2 engine. Otherwise it would have been one of those "impossible ports".

Well. Half Life 2 can run on fixed function PC GPU hardware (I.E. The very first Geforce GPU). That's a GPU or two generations before the original Xbox. So it's not entirely unsurprising.
And Doom 3's minimum PC requirements is a Geforce 3, so it fits in with the original Xbox.
