Load doesn't return the object you saved, but rather a character
vector with the name of that object, here "x". So you would do
something like

load("/path/to/file_A")
x # Here's your data

or more robustly

get(load("/path/to/file_A"))

See ?load (value) for details.

I think that's a bad idea: it still wipes out any existing x in the workspace. Use saveRDS() and readRDS() instead. For example,

# Save the object, not its name
i <- "A"
saveRDS(x, file ="/path/to/file_A")

# Load it into a new name
A <- loadRDS("/path/to/file_A")
