More often than not, it can be tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by checking specs. The picture below should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X1 and RX100 VI.

All in all, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X1 with its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Sony RX100 VI will resolve greater detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged X1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
