This is a pretty big change for digital design. With high accuracy 48MHz clocks on chip, parts that do USB become that much cheaper and more reliable. Single chip USB-3.1 chips become possible as well. The low phase noise is something that makes them very useful for wireless systems that are all software radios these days anyway. Phase noise, or clock jitter, results in difficulty in receiving closely spaced signals. And since many (if not most) of the modern wireless protocols today are multi-channel, it means you can make wireless protocols that support more clients in the same spectrum, or more data to clients in the same spectrum. I am hoping that as a minimum TI releases a series of 4 pin oscillators to replace the ones like from Vectron that can be very finicky to keep working precisely. The only thing I didn't see was what is their vibration resistance standard? The small 'can' oscillators can be pushed of their center frequency by yelling at them ;-) It is a really hard problem to both secure a quartz crystal from outside vibration influences and still allow it to vibrate at its intended frequency!
