Usually, it can be tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out technical specs. The photograph underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the X1D and Z7 II.

As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The X1D having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Hasselblad X1D will show more detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older X1D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
