P=VI is to calculate power usage, specifically conversion from electricity to heat (which applies in almost all electrical devices). Although your description does explain a downside of vdroop, it does not explain accurately why it happens. Yes, a poorly designed board suffering severe vdroop will actually make the problem of overheating MOSFETs worse and worse, as the voltage drop (using V=IR) across overheated MOSFETs will result in a power loss and they will overheat more. And the more the MOSFETs are overheated the worse the voltage drop-a vicious cycle. Contrary to your explaination, current (I) can only be increase up to a certain point until the MOSFETs are working at full capacity-which would be limited by overheating (a safety feature of MOSFETs).
P=I²RP=V²/R will be better in explaination
P=VI cannot calculate any load circuit
since V=IR , subsitude in P=VI, u will get it..
by the way, this give only 10% explanation, more and more i ned to learn by the way
