How is it possible?

Its not.
I thought the question was going to be how is it possible that people still come up with such dumb generic thread titles.
Not likely with that hardware, but generically absurd clock speeds like this can be done with the right equipment (and no care for longevity or stability)
Keep temperatures as close to 0 as you can (to make superconductors) and pump more voltage. Usually dry ice or liquid nitrogen, a lot of insulation, and patience
Physics says you lied.
I remember when someone got a Pentium 4 to 8GHz.
Going to guess that the "macmini" is a hackintosh of some sort, maybe even a VM.
I occasionally saw something like that in some weirdo benchmarks that just add up the cores. So, if you have e.g. 4 cores at 2.1 GHz they present that as "8.4 GHz".
No, the benchmark result makes me think it seems to be a real overclock.
The special thing here is the CPU is an "U" series of Intel, of which the multiplier is not opened. It's really an impressive benchmark.
But I'm anyway not particularly interested in that, neither in apple stuff nor in overclocking. I merely tried to help by offering a possible explanation.
Yeah cause this is totall a mac mini. And totally 8.5ghz not 7.
