It's just a marketing gimmic more than anything. Similar to RAM that's labeled as "VR Ready"

 

It'll work with any CPU.

It's just saying that it's compatible with 6th gen processors, which is pretty old news. Probably saying it can handle the new stuff as well.

No, here it makes kinda sense because of power saving things, you should not use certain PSU with certain systems.

 

Well, essentially no group regulated unit should be used in a modern system...

Should work

But why 750W??

 

in a normal Single CPU/GPU system a 550W is plenty.

And don't forget the GPU inflation!!

 

An nVidia Chip ending in 4 was usually sold for around 200€ or less.

Now you pay 500€ for one...

It's not saying it ONLY works with that CPU.  It's saying it WILL work with that CPU... and newer (it SHOULD say that, but it doesn't).

 

Starting with Haswell, a sleep mode was introduced that when enabled (which it was by default on all motherboards) would cause PSUs without DC to DC for the +3.3V and +5V to "crash" (shut down) instead of coming back out of sleep.
