I just hope those chipsets don't require active cooling like initial X570 boards. It is also very strange having two chipsets which suggests AMD is trying to add in additional IO capabilities but they aren't integrating that directly into the CPU. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

I think they are going to bifurcate PCI-E. PCI-E 4.0 unless you have that secondary chip which enables PCI-E 5.0 links.
I think one chipset will have PCI-E 5.0 for the SSD or GPU, but not both at the same time if I recall.

Not exactly the most elegant of solutions.

Certainly would be interesting if that's the reason although I'd prefer just having as many lanes as possible going directly to the CPU instead of going through a chipset.
