Both Canon M10 and Canon M have 18.0 MP resolution sensors but Canon M10's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) and Canon M's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ).
Since Canon M's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Canon M10.
Below you can see the M10 and M sensor size comparison.
Canon M10 and Canon M have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
