Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by seeing specifications. The photograph below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6400 and RX10 II.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A6400 having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A6400 will provide greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The fresher A6400 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
