Различия в рельсах между new + save и create

Я новичок в rails и не понимаю различий между использованием методов new+save и методом create.

def create
    @item = Item.new(params[:item])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @item.save
        format.html { redirect_to @item, notice: 'Item was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render json: @item, status: :created, location: @item }
      else
        format.html { render action: "new" }
        format.json { render json: @item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
end

и:

  def create

    respond_to do |format|
      if Item.create(params[:item])
        format.html { redirect_to @item, notice: 'Item was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render json: @item, status: :created, location: @item }
      else
        format.html { render action: "new" }
        format.json { render json: @item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end
