"AMD's X570 platform has numerous advantages, but it also has one key disadvantage: the X570 chipset gets hot under load and requires active cooling. "

No it doesn't... unless you are running NVMe RAID and hammering the I/O.

The average user never* has the fan spin up, and those that do are hammering I/O on the chipset.

* Never* unless the motherboard has literally no airflow AND the I/O via the chipset is being used to a reasonably degree. According to the people on this very forum, almost all of them have never known their fan to spin up.

There is no radiator on the x570 chipset on the Asus Dark, its just a heatsink. The fan noise is inaudible on most if not all x570 boards.

The real improvement is the chipset operating at lower power in the forthcoming boards

"Asus currently has two AMD X570-based ROG motherboards: the ROG Crosshair VIII Hero and the ROG Strix X570. "

You forgot the Crosshair VIII Formula.
