Canon R6 has a 20.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic X processor. On the other hand, Canon R has a 30.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 8 processor.
Canon R's sensor provides 10MP more than Canon R6's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the R6 and EOS R sensor size comparison.
