I fail to see the competition. It's not just integration. Projects like AMD's Ryzen would simply not be possible without advanced multi-chip packaging.

On one hand chiplets win because you can fit it in a laptop form factor and it probably costs less than the dual socket motherboard and two CPUs. There is also the psychology that you feel like a Master Knerd if you have a two socket machine. I don't think Ryzen really takes advantage of it but you can have a really high performance interconnect inside the package. Even there you have a competition between in-package integration and the alternatives. For instance HBM-based GFX cards exist on the market side-by-side with GFX cards that have external GDDR memory.
