Yeah, there's a lot to be said about the daisy chain but the real news for me here was that 4 CPU lanes are added from last generation. I personally would rather they be used for a m.2 slot than a thunderbolt controller and hopefully they will in some boards. (I don't see the point of thunderbolt on a desktop)
While the daisy chain is interesting, it doesn't sound like it gets you much at the end of the day and will double power usage (which was a real sore spot with x570 vs the asmedia chipsets) The dual chipset sort of seems like it's just a luxury item without a purpose in most cases. Maybe we'll see some interesting designs with server oriented boards but doubling the power usage doesn't seem worth what it will get you to me.
