You can’t fix damage that has already happened, but you can stop more damage by limiting voltage as I understand it.

It’s like spectre and meltdown you also lost the advertised performance. Less performance is better than a gaping security hole or a broken chip.

I would expect this patch to come with a negative performance impact.
