Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the X (Typ 113) and RX100 VI.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X (Typ 113) featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony RX100 VI will show extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged X (Typ 113) will be behind in sensor tech.
