"I wonder where the advantages are?"

To AMD? Cost. To the user/OEM? Lower power. Ceramic can take a lot more heat than fiberglass. I dunno the temperatures, this is a question more for someone with materials experience. AFAIK, none of the chips in an organic package dissapate more than about 15-20 watts, but I very well could be wrong on this.
