Ryzen 3500X at 1.43 Volts by default
I'm using a very straightforward way of looking at this because I know processor power systems can be complex, but if the PPT stays the same and adjusting Vcore means changing the voltage given to the CPU, then increasing the voltage should actually lead to less current usage since P equals V times I.
It's essentially correct, though manually reducing voltage might remove the algorithm's capacity to adapt according to the processors defined in FIT parameters. As described, FIT establishes a set of connections between current, temperature, and frequency that creates a safe operating range. The boost algorithm modifies the requested voltage and sets multipliers to ensure the processor stays within that range. I may have oversimplified it, but understanding it this way feels quite logical.
