Several docs on the net describe these options as following:

net.core.netdev_max_backlog:

Maximum number of packets, queued on the INPUT side, when the interface receives packets faster than kernel can process them.

net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog:

Maximum number of remembered connection requests, which did not yet receive an acknowledgment from connecting client.

But I cannot fully get the difference and relation between these two values. Should net.core.netdev_max_backlog be bigger, then net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog, or same, or lower?
