Photobucket discusses licensing 13 billion images with AI firmsThe 1D was revealed 15 years before the 1D X II and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Large SLR).
Before getting right into a detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 1D matches up against the 1D X II for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Canon 1D vs Canon 1D X II Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D and 1D X II.
Clearly, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 1D having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon 1D X II will show more detail because of its extra 16 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older 1D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
