A more modular package brings a variety of benefits. Small chips are cheaper per unit area, because yields are higher. Reuse in different products can also lower development costs. Different IP can live on the most appropriate technology node- mature & cheap, new & fast, etc. IP can be developed on different schedules. IP from completely different companies can be integrated more easily. (see the intel-AMD partnership, it's "chiplet") It's really not that complicated an idea- modular packages are more flexible! What's new is making it work within a compelling power, price, and performance envelope.
