What do you think of when you hear the term “undervolting”? We commonly a**ociate squelching voltage with lowering clock speeds, higher efficiency, and power savings, not necessarily better performance. In reality, the last few hardware generations have pushed undervolting into the mainstream for just that: better performance. Tuning down the voltage of your components allows them to maintain the same level of performance with the same clock speed. In theory, (and sometimes in practice) this also allows them to boost higher, increasing performance.
