This is my thought...
Since there was so much fraud with overclocking CPU's and that Jazz, this is one way to IDENTIFY THE CPU as what it says it is... like the VIN number on your car, it should be able to tell you all the aspects about the chip itself... ie.... Where chip was manufactured, what clock speeds, cache, etc... Maybe programmers would be able to use this number to tweak programs to perform accordingly to what info is determined... I don't know...
