Z5C better than x compact?

I am planning to replace my Z1compact and like the compact format - and started looking a X compact. But then I did compare it with Z5compact and even though Z5c is 1 year older it seems to be equal OR BETTER?

Camerawise it is better video resolution in Z5C according to GSM arena

and I have also read the thread here:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-X-Compact/Camera-comparison-to-Z5-Compact-and-X/m-p/1185371#U11...

but regarding CPU is z5C more powerful than XC?

Z5C: Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810, Octa-core (4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A57), Adreno 430

XC:Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650, Hexa-core (4x1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & 2x1.8 GHz Cortex-A72), Adreno 510

I do not know qualcom chipsets very much but lower values normally signals lower performance (two less cores in XC and lower clock frequency and lower model number, all seems slower in my eyes - or am I wrong?

The rest is almost identical except that Z5C is officially IP68 certified.

It older better in this case?

Yes, size is important to me - I want to have my mobile in trouser front pocket and larger than compact size will not match that.

I also want waterproof and FM radio (FM radio disqualifies X perf).

The X Compact has an FM radio. I just listened to it.
