instead of signals and power path going through the same side (frontside) causing all sorts of issues and inefficiency, they're decoupling where power is coming from (from the other, backside, err side).
More importantly, intel saw it as one of two key technologies of them moving into angstrom era, and was touting itself they'll be the first one to bring it to life (not sure they did).. so this seems to be more of a business power move.
