In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by viewing specs. The visual here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6000 and RX10 IV.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A6000 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Sony A6000 will result in more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older A6000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
