Answer 1

It depends on exactly which parts you’re comparing, but it can be a physically bigger die, a die the same size with more function enabled or binned to run at a higher frequency, more memory installed, etc.

Ultimately it’s marketing fluff, and you have to look at the specifications and benchmarks to see the actual difference. There can also be significantly different parts marketed with the same number.
