The non-x products make it clear that the “x” products are just way out of line on the performance/power scale.

There's a setting in BIOS (PBO) that you can toggle to make the non-X perform just like the X. They're almost the exact same part, probably just binned a little higher.

The non-X line just obsoleted the X line due to PBO, as long as they're priced lower.
