Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The photograph below will provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G7 X and G7.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G7 X with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon G7 X will give you extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older G7 X is going to be behind in sensor technology.
