Samsung 840 uses 20nm TLC memory which has 1,000 p/e cycles.
The price they are asking for cheaper to manufacture tech with 1/3 the write endurance is a bit..insane.

Simply put, intel 520 is a high-end model while samsung 840 is a value model. 840pro would be the high end model from samsung. I think the 840 non-pro should drop even further on the price.
