It's due to the stacked cache being harder to cool and not supporting as high of a voltage. So the 3D CCD clocks lower, but for some workloads it's still faster (mainly ones dealing with large buffers, like games, most compute heavy benchmarks fit in normal caches and the non 3D V-Cache variants take the win).
