We just posted our Vega: FE undervoltage testing, which was a request in our Patreon Discord chat (thanks to Streetguru and others present for bouncing around ideas on that one).

The results are interesting: We were able to improve performance something like ~7-10% in various applications when increasing power target by +50% and reducing voltage by 110mv, netting a +15W power draw and +7-10% performance uplift -- not a bad trade!

Mostly, it was just a fun test to do and somewhat eye-opening, as we haven't done undervoltage testing before.

As always, feel free to post your suggestions here, via Twitter, or on the Discord chat and we'll try to get around to them!
