Higher LLC configuration results in reduced Vdroop. Vdroop occurs during load situations (when current rises) to ensure the chip stays within its TDP limits. This behavior is intentional. However, the voltage reduction also leads to instability, which is why increasing the vcore helps maintain stability under load when overclocking. LLC provides the ability to adjust the size of Vdroop, allowing for higher voltages during load while preventing excessive idle vcore levels.
