Those Celerons were not known for running cool when stock, either.

Evidently the Celeron D is very overclockable. Still, 8ghz. Wow.

Having a longer than average pipeline for the frequency (and the longest pipeline ever made for a production CPU, in the case of the Celeron) certainly helps. They have a 31-stage pipeline, and the AMDs have 20, while other CPUs are around 15:

Imagine a liquid deuterium cooled Mill CPU running Half Life 4!
