Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The picture underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M and R10.

All in all, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon R10 to offer you greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged M is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
