the capabilities Canon now has are also taking advantage of a MUCH faster processor
what exactly are you basing that claim on?
do you have links showing the clock speeds of both processors? can you tell us what the respective bus widths are? aka 16 bit vs. 32 bit for example... how about cache sizes for both systems? etc.

no, sony already has a massive hardware lead with stacked sensors, that canon will apparently never be able to match.
notice that the r5 sensor apparently isn't even bsi, canon doesn't list bsi anywhere in it's literature... downright primitive, in other words, with baked-in nr to try and fake the performance.
you can't improve sensor readout speed with external downstream hardware... sony stacked sensors have integrated logic, dac, and adc, which is again much faster than doing it off-chip, see the video.
