Electronic – Op amp advertised as BW = 105MHz, but GBP is actually 70MHz, what’s being spec’d differently

bandwidthgain-bandwidth-productoperational-amplifierspecifications

I just came about an op-amp spec where they say, "the Op-amp X is unity-gain stable with a small-signal unity gain bandwidth of 105MHz.." As you continue to read, it then says, "with a gain-bandwidth product of 70MHz, …."
What is the difference between these specs? How can its unity gain be specified for two different bandwidths (I understand it says small signal, but I still don't know how I'd use the information). It seems to me the meaningful spec is the 70MHz GBP and the 105MHz is just "specmanship". But, if anyone can explain what they mean by that small signal BW, and how that info is useful, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Edit: I didn’t want to malign it, but at your requests, here’s a link to the OPA2810 data sheet.

Not sure if this is the op-amp you are referring to, but the OPA2810 typical characteristics contain similar numbers.

Interestingly, perhaps, the typical unity-gain bandwidth of the amplifier increases from 75MHz to 105MHz (typ) when the capacitive loading is increased from 4.7pF to 33pF as it makes the amplifier less stable and there is some gain peaking near the cutoff.

At higher gains (+11), with 4.7pF loading, the typical gain-bandwidth product is 70MHz, which is pretty close to the 75MHz unity gain bandwidth with 4.7pF loading.
