No idea how much a benchmark between arm and x86 tells, but apparently a Snapdragon 800 (Lumia 930) blows an Atom N270 (2nd gen netbooks) out of the water. [1]
Assuming that a Snapdragon 400 (Moto G) would yield half the computing power of an 800 (which might be completely off) it would still be in front of an N270 by a fair marging assuming the task can be parallelized well.
And as far as I understand a Snapdragon 400 is what Android people call low-end these days.

Also as far as I understand the transition from OpenGL to GLES doesn't have much impact on performance. So in the end I'm not really surprised that Hedgewars runs on almost any current Android phone.
And it is a great game ... as long as you don't take a look under the hood.
