Generally, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G5 X MII and RX100.

As you can see, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size and the same exact resolution therefore you should expect comparable quality of pictures although you will want to take the production date of the cameras into account. The more recent G5 X MII is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
