I am wondering about this too. I also noticed the ASUS ROG Hero and the ASrock Taichi have similar chips. It seems like it's a gimmick that would only be really useful on a locked chip. Does anybody have experience with these?
If it's any good it will be able to put out a higher switching frequency to drive the VRM (and therefore the base clock). Higher switching frequency allows faster transient response and lower ripple.
If it's just for BCLK overclocking then it isn't as useful because BCLK overclocking tends to mess with RAM and PCIe (includes NVMe SSDs that rely on BCLK), necessitating straps for DMI.

My friend told me the first thing about it they looked into it a bit, and should be a completely seperate Bclk that isn't connected to Ram and PCI-E lanes, so 100mhz of clocking room I believe o-o...? That has all those benefits, it seems like a pretty important chip then for overclocking over lower tier motherboards which is rare for motherboards, usually top tier one just has like fancy on switches, OC software built on board, nothing to physically improve it more then better vrm's etc.
