More often than not, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the P600 and RX10 III.

Clearly, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The P600 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Sony RX10 III will provide more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older P600 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
