The SPanish review site DSLRmagazine (translation here) posted a detailed Sony A7rII vs Canon 5DSr vs Phase One XF comparison. Of particular interest is that very big comparison chart image you can see here: dslrmagazine.com/images/stories/Pruebas/Sony_A7RII_Captor/SCP.jpg. In very short the conclusion of the reviewer is:

1) Sony’s JPG files show excellent processing. It significantly increases the feeling of sharpness rivaling even with RAW versions of the 50 Megapixel models (Canon-Phase One) showing a larger but not sharper file.
2) The overall quality of the new Sony A7RII is really noticeable until it reaches ISO 6400 / ISO 12800.

Focus Numerique also posted a new A7rII ISO test. Their graph below shows how up to ISO 12,800 noise is acceptable and then suddenly doubles with the next stop and goes crazy high at ISO 102,400.

They also compared the A7rII against the Nikon D810, A7s and Canon 5ds:

“Ultimately, it is the new Sony A7R II and BSI sensor that wins this comparison. The progress made by Sony in the management of electronic noise when creating JPEGs are really impressive“
