All in all, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The RX100 VII using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Sony RX100 VII will offer extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger RX100 VII is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
