That's actually Raw file trickery, and although very cleve rindeed, not real sensor and ac/dc output.
In short, it means a step less in postprocessing, that's all.

The read noise just is a lot lower on base ISO. With higher ISO, we go get to see some RAW trickery, where the Nikon D7000 loses a bit of detail. On the whole, the 60D keeps detail a bit better at higher ISOs, but the differences are small.
I have said it before, and I will say it again... I see no use in ever higher dynamic range at base ISO. If you are going to push all that dynamic range into the image-visible spectrum, you get very flat images (low contrast).
I always find myself increasing contrast in post processing (read: limiting dynamic range) instead of lowering it. Don't read too much into the higher DR hype... It is mostly spec sheet babble. A too low DR is of course problematic, but you won't find that in any modern DSLR.
