Normally, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The graphic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G9 X and SL820.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G9 X having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon G9 X will provide greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer G9 X should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
