Usually, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by checking out technical specs. The photograph below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D X II and E-620.

As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1D X II because of its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 1D X II will show extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The more recent 1D X II is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
