We can only state what's reasonable at a given speed range. For example the 50500 number was for 5 GHz+. At lower multipliers, you see higher efficiencies, since the FSB is proportionally higher with respect to CPU speed.
If you look at his original thread though, he himself listed several exceptional times, such as before's and kyosen's that broke the pattern. The 50500 was just meant as a ballpark guide, not an absolute number, based on over 200 results. At 4 GHz we can see most of the best times wind up around 50000...at 3.6GHz around 49800.
If we were to scale my 4 GHz pp up to 5.5GHz, I would require 550x10 2:3 with the memory at 825 4-4-4.

If I could do that, then yes...50000 would be possible at 5.5GHz.
