The hacker says that 1.504 Ghz is stable at 1375mV on his phone. He has got speeds of upto 2Ghz. But if you stress your CPU more, it will become very hot, though even at stock frequencies, it does to some extent and there is not so much thermal insulation between your hands and the processor in such a slim device.

The kernel has 1.504 Ghz overclocking but for safety, default frequency is still 1.2GHz and you can use SetCPU to safely raise frequency level.
