A quote from the article:
We already called the SSD-evolution a race to the bottom: the prices keep going down, meaning larger capacity SSDs become more accessible. Every manufacturer keeps a close eye on the other manufacturers. Seeing as how Crucial and OCZ are offering SSDs below the ?850 Evo-price levels,? Samsung is introducing the Samsung 750 Evo to compete.

The Samsung 750 Evo-line is based on the same S4LN062X01-controller as the 850 Evo, called the Samsung MGX in marketing terms. The difference between the two is the used TLC-flash memory: where the 850 Evo uses 3D NAND, the manufacturer uses regular ?2D? memory for the 750 Evo. This is produced using the smaller 16nm-procedure, potentially having a negative impact on the life span. On the other hand: all of the competitors use similar memory at this price point. A second difference is the cache. With 256 MB it is half the size of the 850 Evo.
