Nah, 8,180MHz can't hold a candle to 500GHz (http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/20/ibm-git-overclock-cpu-to-500ghz/), but on the long road of overclocking (http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=overclocked) Intel's Pentium 4 where there is an increasingly brief (http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/27/pc-hits-world-record-of-6ghz/) amount of time available to brag (http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/11/how-to-overclock-to-7ghz/) before being trumped (http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/15/so-someone-overclocked-their-p4-to-7-2ghz/), the zany Italians have crowned themselves champs once more. Not content with just hitting 8GHz (http://www.engadget.com/tag/8ghz/) with a "Cedar Mill" Pentium 4 631, OC Team Italy managed to push that very model an additional 179MHz by tweaking the FSB. The final results yielded a 173-percent overclock, and while this here setup may run stable for a continued period if placed at the depths of Antarctica, we can't imagine this being too feasible for the common man to replicate and actually utilize.
