I bet it blew up right after they took the pictures.

A 3 Ghz CPU wouldn't last 5 minutes at 8 Ghz.
Nice achievement, though.

Is that it's actual speed? 631 means little to me.

631 must be chipset or something its saying a p4 chip was overclocked from 3ghz to 8ghz......

Crazy really

Intel moved away some time ago from having just the clock speed as the 'model number'. To accomodate the variations of cache levels etc., they designated their chips these kind of model numbers.
