Hey guys,
I want to buy an I7 6700k, so i looked over some of the hardware store sites in my country.
I noticed that on some sites, the product code for the I7 6700k is BX80662I76700K and one others it's BX80662I76700KSR2L0. I'm a bit confused as to what this means. Why does the second one has R2L0 attached? What's the difference? I tried googling it but could not find any info. I just want to make sure that i won't be getting an inferior product by picking either. Any help would be greatley appreciated, since i want to place the order today, and the money is burning a hole in my pocket.

They're both the same core stepping so the difference will be very minor if any, likely a small die change or similar that would require a change in the S-spec number.
They should be identical for all intents and purposes, but the SR2L0 is technically newer.
Pretty sure that's the intel stock fan.

Alright,thanks anon. Its weird cause i found nothing on it online, and i looked for a couple of hours now.
I'll wait a bit more to see if anoyone has more insight, and i'll just go ahead and order it.
I also noticed that some designate 91 W or 95 W on their specs.
My brain tells me it's wattage, but some intel faq lists that as "thermal design power". Frankly, never heard of the term, are they one and the same thing? And why would two of the same cpus' require a different Wattage, number, if that's indeed the wattage.

>Thermal Design Power (TDP) represents the average power, in watts, the processor dissipates when operating at Base Frequency with all cores active under an Intel-defined, high-complexity workload. Refer to Datasheet for thermal solution requirements.

Alright, cool.
Have any idea why is it different for cpu's that have the same model?
>>57864440
i mean,basically, that is a depiction of how much heat it generates under load? so, i should go for the one that generates less? if i understood it correclty.

Get the R2L0 since it's from the new batch that has SGX enabled.
