Please help me understand what do these numbers mean

There is a nice and informative sheet with a bunch of useful numbers, including about VRMs.
To my current knowledge, at phase config higher number is better, but I don't know what does the divisions, + and x symbols mean.
At the VRM (CPU) column, I understand that higher Amper is better, but I don't know what does the SPS and DrMOS mean, or what is the difference between them. I don't know neither what does the 1H/1L means. There are notes to explain them, but I can't comprehend them.
Also, I don't know what does the MOS heatsink positions mean, or what is the difference between them.
I also welcome explanations about how high numbers/metrics are necessary to run ryzen 9000 or 10000 CPUs stable, and why. [Edit: Yes I know they aren't released yet, this is more about the future.] Thank you for the help!

1H/1L means 1 Higher side mosfet/1 Lower side, it doesnt use DrMos (driver mosfet), I assuming its just a traditional mosfet.
VRM tier: Traditional mosfets < DrMos < SPS (Smart Power Stage)
SPS is the highest tier, mosfet with Smart Power Stage, more efficient and cooler, extreme overclock, its usually available on decent or high tier motherboards.
DrMos is also great for mainstream and more enough, its mostly available on mainstream motherboards.
