CPU:

Processor play important role in Smartphones, it decides how fast your phone works. HTC One X is powered by 1.5 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 4 Quad-core processor, 12 GeForce GPU cores whereas Samsung Galaxy Nexus is powered by 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 Dual-Core processor. Quad-Core is quite powerful processor when its compared to Dual-core processor.

So One X might turn out to be better performer than Galaxy Nexus.
