Switch throughput question?

Hi, when a switch description says " Switching capacity: 20 Gbps; Forwarding performance (64-byte packet size): 14.88 Mpps " regarding performance/throughput on this link:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/sg300-10mp-10-port-gigabit-max-poe-managed-switch/model.html#~tab-specs

What exactly does it mean? Does it mean the switch can take a maximum of 20Gb at one time passing through the switch? I'm not quite sure what 14.88 Mpps means though for a 64byte size packet?

I know this may seem obvious and silly to some, but it had me at a bit of a loss earlier?
