They're quite different.

Here's the cl.el doc string:

---
Declare SPECS about the current function while compiling.
For instance

  \(declare (warn 0))

will turn off byte-compile warnings in the function.
---

(If I were dictator, I'd dump Emacs with cl* in the image and get rid of
all these almost-cl functions from subr.el, but that's another long, old
and boring argument.)
