What does it mean to have "315 points of phase-detection AF"?

I presume that it's better than having 300 but not better than 400 points, and better than out-of-phase, or no-phase detection. But does the scale of point counts go from 1 to infinity? The spec doesn't say. Does it mean the camera will focus on a fast-mo...

For notice: the size of the sensor is also important, which means an APS-C with 500 AF points is more capable in focusing than medium format with the same amount because of a different amount of coverage that the sensor surface gets. Other than that autof...
