How would you know?
The VRM generates a lot of heat. Putting it on die will inevitably raise cpu temps which will reduce your max overclock. There is also the concern of size constraints (it can't use up too much die size so cutbacks have to be made to the design) and EMI. We don't know how much those two factors effect its performance if at all but the reduction in heat alone guarantees some level of improvement.
