This will let the manufactures to make bridgeless and connector-less Crossfire systems. You won't need a master card and all the dull cables any more. It will also cut the production cost and will finally make the Crossfire upgrade path easier. Time will erase the necessity for the master and slave design. Even next generation R600 comes with a Crossfire bridge inside of the chip

ATI will provide a warranty for such chips and there will be some kind of validation process where ATI will be able to control the overclocking frequency. After you sell your chips you kind of have to give the warranty for them.

currently ATI's crossfire format requires a stupid cable.
Now they're making it so there's no need for a cable (firing the data over the PCI-E interface) but as a side effect of this, they've made it so you can stick 2 (or more) GPUs on one card (which is good)
as far as the overclocking go, it just means we can buy pre-overclocked cards and have a warranty.

yay ATI! also, the benchmarks I've seen place the new 7900 GTX only as fast or slower than even the 1900XT, let alone the XTX.

Why would they? and why would they release a lower graphics card than their current midrange card (x1600), then overclock it?
