The real issue is the power consumption, not the actual heating at 4GHz. But even if we don't count the OC, 3.1GHz+ is still beyond 3GHz by any decent math.

3.1GHz is also 3GHz to one digit of precision.

There are chips closer to 4Ghz than 3, though. The author should have aimed higher. http://www.intel.com/products/processor/corei7EE/index.htm
