Quite often, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing technical specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 650D and R5.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 650D featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Canon R5 will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 27MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older 650D will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
