Normally, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes simply by viewing specs. The image underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the RX100 V and TX1.

All in all, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The RX100 V due to its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Sony RX100 V will render more detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger RX100 V will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
