Exactly. The 89 watt versions are the later iterations in the series. They run at 89 watts vs. 110 watts. They are (apparently) cheaper to manufacture and sell for less. Other than wattage, they are the same processor.

If Im not mistaken there is also a difference in the L1 Cache of each of these chips and also the operating temperatures.

However, there is not mention of that in the listing :S
