Are there any advantages of a GPU having a multi-chip module design?

Rumors are the RTX 50xx (blackwell) cards from Nvidia will feature an MCM design.
Marketing, with magic acronyms?

Its a somewhat different design.
But it would be impossible to compare/contrast this with a previous gen GPU, because of all the OTHER changes.

its what AMD do, can use different sized chip processes to create different parts of chip. Possibly cheaper. less chance of failed parts - making super huge monoliths must create lots of fails.
