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

but how can the chips reach the advertised performance while being undervolted? especially damaged chips.

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.
