Hardware parts always come with what seems to be standard naming.
Example for DVD burners :
Is there some standard understanding of these letters ? For example, is the difference between Panasonic SW-9587-S and SW-9587-C the same as any DVD burner called XXX-S and XXX-C ?
Short answer: No.
Each manufacturer has its Marketing-Droids who do invent these numbers out-of-the-blue for each product.
In a product series a higher number may indicate better performance, but that's no rule, just a conjecture.
No. There is no such standard.
Names might be standardised by brand, but even that's only the decision of the company, not a requirement.
