Oftentimes, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D X and Fujifilm IS Pro.

Clearly, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1D X due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 1D X will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The fresher 1D X provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
