Wii U CPU + GPU clock speeds increased? Is it even possible?

It's almost definitely not true, but not for the reasons you have given.

It's entirely possible for a CPU to run at speeds 3x less than it's supposed to run at (My desktop i7 is currently running at about 800Mhz and can run at any speed within a multiplier times the FSB...

Same for GPU, you can clock a desktop GPU at any frequency you like in software. So it's entirely possible theoretically...which doesn't make this actually true at all but your comment is incorrect.

No. It is impossible.

Nintendo will need to make a new thermal system to make these big increase... the actual thermal system in Wii U can't hold cool the CPU/GPU with these clock.

And I'm not going into the FACT the IBM PowerPC 750 architecture can't go over 2Ghz of clock speed.

Your original comment said it was not possible for a CPU to be clocked much lower than it's specified speed bin. Now you're saying it's not possible spefically for this CPU to be clocked at 3Ghz+. I'm not knowledgable to know if that's true or not but your previous post was incorrect regardless.

All desktop CPUs can run well under stock these days as can GPUs in small or large increments.

If you're only talking about the PowerPC CPUs, best you say that in the first place next time :)
