Wake Turbulence - 75 vs. 74

Was intrigued to see in the (latest) 380 post that a 757 produces more wake turbulence than a 747. How, bearing in mind the difference in size, is this possible? Wing shape?

If someone could provide some answers, and possibly of how wake turbulence is produced and manifests itself I would be most grateful.

Cheers.
