In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through specs. The picture underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X MII and DP1x.

All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G7 X MII using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon G7 X MII will provide you with greater detail using its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G7 X MII should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
