Normally, it is hard to see the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing technical specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 9000 and RX100 VI.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 9000 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX100 VI will produce extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older 9000 will be behind in sensor innovation.
