Chip power networks are very complicated RC circuits. By modulating both the workload and the voltage it should be possible to create localized brownouts only in portions of the chip. This would bypass normal voltage monitoring. This sort of thing is already a huge problem in chip design today without the adversarial component complicating it further.
It does make the attack much more difficult though.
