Normally, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by going through specifications. The picture below might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 90D and P90.
Plainly, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 90D having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 90D will produce more detail with its extra 21MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The fresher 90D provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
