I honestly don't know about "is going to have a lot better low light performance ". Compared to what?

Compared to K3, I assume.

Both the 24 MP APS-C sensor (in K-3) and the 36 MP FF sensor (in K-1) are used in other cameras. And the verdict is that the FF sensor is better at high ISO. It is both better at pixel level, and, of course, at image level. It has more than twice the area after all, which is the most important measure.
