My understanding was that Apple wanted to figure out how to build systems with multi-SOCs to replace the Ultra chips. The way it is currently done means that the Max chips need to be designed around the interconnect. Theoretically speaking, a multi-SOC setup could also scale beyond two chips and into a wider set of products.

Ultra is already two big M3 chips coupled through an interposer. Apple is curiously not going the way of chiplets like the big CPU crowd is.
I'm not sure if multi-SoC is possible because having 2 GPUs together such that the OS sees it as one big GPU is not very possible if the SoCs are separated.
