Even if it was technically stable, the voltage is too much for 45nm. If you look at Intel's 45nm chips, anything above 1.4V is dangerous. HK/MG may play a role there but still 1.475V on 45nm is like ~1.55-1.6V on 65nm.

If that is true though then a stable overclock to 3.7-3.8GHz should be possible with reasonable voltage. That's a huge improvement over 65nm B3.
