In many cases, its hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading specs. The picture below will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X2D and GF1.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X2D due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will offer you more detail due to its extra 88MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent X2D should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
